Is Ayu a gay icon??

[Taishaku]

Hey! =)... Well, this question is because me and a friend of mine asked me to post this thread. I have many friends who like her a lot, and they have done a great fanbase of gay ppl who love Ayu, at the point of doing an "alternative" party (with music like brit-pop, electroclash, kitsch and j-pop) including a special moment dedicated to Ayu only. So i can agree that people who love Ayu are mostly gay ppl... i think that's a great thing. I've came to this kind of question everytime i see Ayu's looks and compare them to Kylie's and Madonna's. Plus, her lyrics are always something that anyone can relate to its life. So what do you think?? =)

im sure theres a gay fanbase for every artist out there...not just exclusive to ayu..

[AfanforXX]

ditto, and anyways, the only people who could possibly truely answer this question is a gay person living in Japan.

[Ibitsu Kokoro]

Umm..I'm not gay, but I like ayu. But ayu definetly isn't a gay ICON. No way.

Something similar to this was brought up a month ago. Well, yeah, like tl1029530921 said, there's a gay fanbase for every artist out there. I'm straight, yet I like Ayu's songs.

[jiayulam]

ayu = cher ??? HAHAHAHA

stereotypes are not fun

its no good to stereotype ppl who like ayu as gay, we should all be equal and not worry about whether the fans are gay or straight

and also, stereotyping gay ppl as ayu-lovers or glam-diva lovers is not cool, some gay ppl might not like to be stereotyped that way

Well...a friend of mine and myself call Greatful Days the gay anthem. >_>

no one said anything about that. All tai said was that Ayu just so happens to have alot of fans who happen to be gat, theres nothing wrong with that. Theres nothing negative at all about this thread.

I agree Ayu can kinda be considered a gay-icon but not necisarilly. Ayu is for everyone, which is a good thing. Yeah everyone can relate to her words, Im not gay and I can relate to some at times. I have before but because Ayu talks about life in general, issues that everyone goes through. So.. Im not sure what it is, mabey its her style or well i couldnt answer teh question as to WHY a good amount of her fans happen to be gay, but whatever its all good, Go Ayu lol

cconfused but okay haha, i still like it, not ALOT but its catchy u gotta admit

[kournikova]

no... ^^

[sxesven]

NO.

[savage]

i really don't see why ayu shd be a gay icon.. guess there are a lot of artists who have many gay fans... for example, i know a gay guy who simply loves britney (i still think he fallen with his head on some rocks or anything, i mean, come on, britney? brrr) but ok she isnt a gay icon as well i think

[minkAYuko]

i'm just saying ppl get really angry at this kind of threads.. i know for a fact! hehehe

[Hugo_Perry]

I'm a gay, but i don't really think that Hamasaki Ayumi is a homosexual icon. I bet there's always straights, bisexuals, gays, lesbians love her...

Two people have posted this exact thread two different times and I believe both times they were locked.

Music is for everyone and generalizations are bad.

[yulen]

hmmm...generalizations of this type are never true. i'm straight and a girl and i love ayu...

[hanabiwings]

I think the icons are a different generation. Madonna's older as are Cher and Bette Midler (I dunno how you spell her name ^^;; ) They have little in common with today's mainstream pop music.
