I have so many gay friends that I love.

I never thought I would be somewhat of a gay icon.

Some people think I am gay, which I think is awesome.

Seriously, I love my gays. They accept me, and I accept them. Imperfections and all, we accept each other.

I don't think I'm a gay icon. I have no axe to grind. I mean, I'm clearly not homophobic! I'm not pro or con.

When I meet gay fans out and about, they're so great to talk to - and I'm big on hugging, because I'm from the Midwest. They're just so energetic and loving. I'm proud to have those fans, and their support means a lot to me. I don't want just girls coming to my movies; I want guys to come, too!

I know that a large part of my fan base is gay. They've shown me love from the start. I mean in this industry, everyone from my glam people to my dancers are gay. You can't be homophobic in this line of work - I'm a pop star!

Gay people are the sweetest, kindest, most artistic, warmest and most thoughtful people in the world. And since the beginning of time all they've ever been is kicked.

I'm straight and I have a lot of gay friends.

Gays are some of the nicest, kindest, most loving people in the world.
