Tthfully, I’d say 60 percent gay, 40 percent teen girls. When did your relatnship start wh the gay dience?
On the first album I fely did have a gay fan base, but was much smaller, bee I’m a very flamboyant character and the shows are really theatril. But I don’t really talk about the whole gay muny thg, bee I don’t want to be a cliche pop star sayg like, “I love my gays!
What was the gay scene like where you’re om Wal? (Lghs) I didn’t really see any kd of gay scene until I moved to London when I was 19.

I was the only gay the village! You’ve said that you relate to your gay fans, and obvly they relate back to you.
Also, on this album, a lot of the humor has really ught the gay muny’s attentn. As far as the whole rtoon persona go, do you thk your gay dience appreciat your flamboyant look and fashn more than your mastream dience? No, but gay people pick up on thgs a ltle b quicker and sense stuff that is potentially unrground or que cultish and is gog to bee bigger before a mastream dience will.

I felt that people pop e that to exprs themselv that way for lculated means bee they know the gay fan base is extremely loyal and extremely exprsive and is a tastemaker mographic.
I kd of feel the same way now, bee, yeah, of urse I have a really strong gay fan base, and the fact is that is a really enjoyable factor for me to have a really strong mographic bee mak the shows a lot more fun, for one, and bee they are really exprsive.

Gay male culture has always alced around female pop stars, om Judy Garland to Lady Gaga and Ariana Gran. But gay men and the women they worship are ually happy to bask the mutual affectn. This year, Spears was honoured wh an award by the US’s Gay and Lbian Alliance Agast Defamatn (Glaad) for promotg equaly.
She rpond by sayg the gay muny had shown her “unndnal love”. Propped up by her gay fan base? Scratch lightly at the surface and what flak off is, y, reciprocy and genue affectn, but also llo theory of the gay fan-diva lk is that of shared opprsn – gay men and women are both ground unr the wheel of hetero-patriarchy.
