I believe gay's as a group are more educated and into the arts, so it's only logical that a fair share would be attracted to the queen. I mean it, not trying to kiss 'ass' here. My close gay friend hates Joni, but that's more to tease me than anything else. He loves opera, divas and Aretha (females only). Last time I showed him PWWAM, he joked that Joni is so wrinkled now that perhaps I could have a chance! I've been enduring this kind of jokes from him for 25 years, so now I can appreciate Murph's humor.
