Gay Men Love Cher?


Answer: I have no idea.

Its not that I don't love Cher. I definitely do. But she seems like she is writing for the divorced over 40 women of the world (highlighting why I love her). Take the following hit titles:
Soner Or Later We All Sleep Alone
This Is A Song For the Lonely
Strong Enough To Live Without You....
Do You Believe In Life After Love

Im not saying gay men don't have these problems- now that they can get married, I'm sure they do. This still fails to answer the cult following. So, to get to the heat of the question, I did some extensive research (read: I googled "why do gay men love cher?"- on a personal note, yes, I did just recently stop using Ask Jeeves).

Thank god for USA Today which consistently thinks to cover important issues like this (which is undoubtedly why they remain the hotel paper of choice). In a breaking interview with Cher, she explains: it's like to be an outsider....To singers, I wasn't a singer. To actors, I wasn't an actor. I know what it's like to fight for your place. Besides, gay men are very choosy, and they have great taste."

Answer: Cher = marginalized, who knew? If this secret got out, she could wedge her way in to all sorts of minority ipods- maybe do some work with a famous black rapper? or maybe a spanish album?
