God, this thread/forum is SO awesome. Ahaha.
Well, if they were in America about three years ago, it'd be the "in" thing to be gay. Ahahaha. I think it's still something people like... It's retro. Or should I say metro?
Anyway, I think it would only hurt because of the fangirls. If they found out their idol was gay, it's like, "ZOMFG, MY DRE~~~AM WEDDING IS RU~~INED!". Yeah.
