Last night, a gay bar in Halifax were having an all night of Madonna songs. Since a couple friends of mine wanted to go, I went too. And it made me wonder, what is it about Madonna that makes her so appealing to gay people? She's considered a "diva" like Cher is (another favourite) but is Mariah Carey loved by gay people?

All female dance-pop artists have huge gay followings.

Because gay guys want to be her, lol. Just like they want to be Cher and Courtney and all the others.
I don't find Madonna that appealing, but some of her stuff is good. :)

It's all about her bitch on wheels persona. Gay men like powerful women. And the fact that she's put out consistently good dance music for 20 years doesn't hurt either.

I think it's because she has some manly features. The ones that are easiest to dress in drag to look like seem to be popular.
Cher, Madonna, Barbara Streisand etc

I guess madonaa at one time went both ways. so I guess the gay community sees her as an icon of some sort. I also think her points went waaay up when she had a tribute to her different styles on the MTV music awards with all men dressed up as her throughout her career.  |

Because she used to make good pop dance music, and she was sexually explicit.
I feel like a lot of her fanbase now are just there because she was such an icon in the 80's and early 90's. But that's true with most artists who have been around for at least a couple of decades.

I'd have to agree with you King (Alex?)... She is an artist that is continually changing and coming into her own which I believe gay people can identify with.
