I suppose it depends how old you are. Most (I'm not saying all so don't quote me) of the male Cher fans you run into in their teens or 20's generally seem to be gay. But I've seen a lot of straight men over 30 who like her. I remember when I went to her concert, expecting it to be loaded with cute 20something gays (since they make it such a stereotype that ALL of Cher's fanbase is), and 70% of the audience were old married couples and over-30 housewifes, LOL.

Nope, I don't think it is.

well, I noticed you state you're British on your profile. I think with a lot of British guys, it's "safer" to be straight and like quote-on-quote "gay icons" because British guys seem to have less problems with masculinity/femininity. I have a friend who is British and 21 who likes Madonna and Barbra Streisand... I was for sure he was gay, but yet he's straight. British guys have less issues about "I have to make sure I look manly so people won't question my sexuality" than Americans do.

That's exactly what I was thinking....(British guys rule.

)

Oh and to answer the question, I think it's perfectly fine for a guy to like artists like Cher, whether they are from the U.S. or wherever.

It's not gay to like Cher's music.

Dressing like her is another story...
