					Originally posted by satellites™  I disagree, I think she gains more than she loses. Especially since a lot of people in the industry are secretly closeted or riding the gay support train to look cool.    
Chris Colfer Emmy nomination anyone? | 
	
 What does she gain? Are gays like hesitant to latch on to female pop stars even when they aren't so out there with their active support? Does Britney have like a dearth of gay fans? Did I miss some memo here?
She would have gay fans regardless, she loses other potential fans by identifying with that community and being seen as a "gay artist." That's still a stigma. Industry support =/= mainstream public opinion.
