Popstars who just use the gay community?
-
I think its fair to say that many mainstream popstars use gays simply for sales & money.
Who are the worst offenders, though?
-
You are just now figuring this out?
-
Not Madonna she has tirelessly raised money for gay causes and HIV/AIDS throughout her career and has has and has had gay friends and family so let's just get that set straight (no pun intended) right away.
-
My take here is: has there been a popstar whose 'use' of the gay community has resulted in something negative?
There's the gay friendly folks and there's the guys who pander to the gay community by showing skin or doing gay teasing stuff but, how has it impacted the gay community in a negative way?
Was there a music video that showed the 'evils' of gay folks?
I don't follow Elton John so I don't know what impact he has. George Michael had that incident happen but he did that Outside music video. But what's the backlash?
-
b. spears probably?

Donna Summers.
She made tens of millions off the gay male community then made a number of statements that Gay Men deserved to die of AIDS.

She denied those rumours.

I'm aware she denied the reports; years later after it had hurt her career.
I knew a large number of people who heard her say those words in that order at a concert in New York City. -
Nick Jonas, but I like him anyway
