Stevie - gay icon??

[Robert]

Hawkeye I don't know where you live or how many if any Stevie shows you have been to .I have been going to see Fleetwood Mac/ Stevie since 1979 and have noticed an increasing presense of gay and lesbian fans at the shows.It could be you have gone and just don't recognize them because all of them may not fit certain stereotypes.If you watched Stevies. Vh1 fanclub half the fans on there that were interviewed are gay.when MTV did it's Fanatic the fan who interviewed Stevie was a lesbian.The magazine atricle that featured Stevie on the cover and interveiwed her about being a gay icon was called HX a NYC entertainment magazine.So i think your percentages are probably more than a bit off.

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

Of course Stevie Nicks is a gay icon, alwys has been. Her interview last year was with HX or Next magazine in NYC. I have a copy of it, and the magazine itself called her a gay icon.

I was member of a dutch Stevie fanclub a couple of years ago, and it was mostly girls, some of them les/bi, and the guys most of them gay, indeed. funnily, my best friend there was a guy who was also a big fan of cher, madonna, celine dion, barbra streisand.. and very straight. I always thought that was so funny, and lovely, because he was just himself, you know
Add me to the definitely smallest percentage, bi-fans
(who happen to have twice as much fun, you know. I like Stevie AND Lindsey )

no seriously.. we're ALL fans and that's the most important thing.

Excuse me Robert, but Hawkeye is ENTITLED to his opinion since we do live in the United States of America.....

Besides we've had this discussion before, why is this being brought up again?

Goldustboi, welcome to The Ledge !!! Even though I may disapprove of the Gay Lifestyle, that does'nt mean I can't treat you with the respect you deserve. Enjoy yourself, we're a friendly bunch !!!

Oh no...don't start arguing again...

Anyway...the first person I ever met who was a die hard crazy Stevie fan...was a lesbian, and her and her group of lesbian friends were totally into Stevie, so I always thought she did have quite a gay following, I've met about five gay/male Stevie fans in the past month, and only one straight one.

I don't know what that all means...except that she does obviously have a huge and diverse group of fans...but she has definetly made an impression in the gay community.

I disapprove of the Basement-Dwelling, Loner Lifestyle.

Alright Alright..no need for this to get ugly...Goldustboi merely asked a question..which we have all answered honestly...let's not let it get out of hand...gay,lesbian,straight...whatever...we all love Stevie,let's just leave it at that.

[Robert]

Hey Arizona there was nothing wrong with my response to Hawkeye ,(It would seem I am not the only one on here with a Pavlov dog's response Tommer!)Whenever this comes up you know who chimes in to voice his 'disapproval of the gay life style' with the precision of an atomic clock.Wonderful obeservation btw Macfanken!

[goldustboi]

WOW! Well there's nothing like getting a response! I didn't expect this thread to get so intense, but thanks everyone, its certainly answered my question and i did secretly enjoy the ensuing riot.... only joking... we're all friends really!

[Vianna]

I really don't think it matters if a singer's fans are gay or straight or whatever. Stevie's fans love her and they have a right to that and that should be the end of it.

Please keep this discussion respectful or the thread will be closed.
