Like Cher, Britney, Kylie, Bette etc. Take away the gays and those stars will starve!
Stevie has plenty of non-gay fans. Back in the 70s 80's and starting again in 97 and till now she has been just a ROCK icon. Hell, most the only people I know that like her were straight women. I hardly know any gay men that like her. Most are so focused on reality tv and whatever ho-bag skank ala-Britney/Christina that they don't know good music and lyrics.
OH, And all the concerts of hers I have been to mostly were attended by middle aged Trailer Park Cat Women and husband/wives that must have loved Fleetwood Mac back when they were in college. When I see Fleetwood Mac concerts its a mix of middle aged Baby Boomers and some sprinklings of pretty much everything else. Stop trying to make Stevie Nicks a gay icon. She belongs to everyone!

One can be a gay icon and still belong to everyone. Believe me, Stevie IS a gay icon. She is HUGE in the gay community. But she is more than that, too.
For what it's worth, I am gay and don't give a hoot about Cher. And I don't watch reality tv. I read books.
