Britney Spears: Establishing Herself As A Gay Icon

Larry Flick of Metroline reports that gays have connected to Britney Spears’ evolution from a teen renegade into a provocative young woman on her fourth album, ‘In The Zone’. She also displays the kind of larger-than-life persona that queer listeners require from their divas. “The funny thing, though, is that I never think in terms of being a diva,” Spears said. “I just think about doing good work, having a good time, and making music that people can respond to. If that leads people into seeing me as a diva, well, I guess that’s cool… as long as it’s a diva in a positive sense and not in a negative or bitchy way.”
