I suspect most of Stevie's fans are straight women. I could be wrong, but I do get that impression. Stevie is so unabashedly feminine and girly, in her writing, presentation and image. I know she has loads of gay male fans but I think the reason she may not be seen so much as a "gay icon" is because her gay men fans are outnumbered by her straight lady fans. I don't think the same can be said about Madonna and others whose fans are a bit more diverse...I really think there is a majority in Stevie's fan base. But I could be wrong
