Singer Alexandra Burke seeks ”gay icon” status
”I love gay men. They’re the only ones that I can trust… I would love to be a gay icon, but I’ve got a lot of hard work to do first…. My gay friends don’t treat me any differently – they’re just normal and great spirits to be around. And you can be naked in front of them.”
