Cher explains why she has such a powerful affinity with gay men
(Tara Ziemba/Getty Images) Cher revealed that she relates to gay people “because gay people don’t feel like they fit in and I never felt like I fit in”, in an interview with CNN‘s Christiane Amanpour. In the interview, she recalled her introduction to the “gay world” when she was nine-years-old. She said: “One day I came home and there were these two men in my living room with my mum and my aunt and they were doing their hair and they were talking and I was thinking, why haven’t we ever had these kind of guys around because these guys are like the coolest.”
