Outside of the typical club-type videos I think the homosexuality promotion has been pretty understated. It wasn't too much in GREEN and it wasn't too much in Haru yo, Koi.

I think that like Madonna, she knows what gay males of her era like and is happy to give them what they want.

I'm way happier with her portraying femme gays the way she does, than portraying straight looking guys as a couple. But I'm not surprised by all the "you can be gay as long as you aren't flamboyant and act "like a man" being thrown in here.
