There’s a thing of recognizing that you have gay fans, as a male artist. I was speaking to some of my very close gay friends as I was making the record, and they told me I should really make the effort to embrace my gay audience as it’s bigger than I might think. There should be more of it. There should be more heterosexual male artists who are comfortable to attract a gay audience and do it in a way that’s authentic. With me, it comes from a very genuine and loving place.”
— Nick Jonas, asked by Attitude whether he intentionally courted the gay community when he released his recent solo album
Shane Plesiuk
Good for her!
Lewis Kinslayer
As long as he is a good person we will do the same.
Roberson Randy
This is true!
BlueDude
Why shouldn’t he? His acknowledgement of us sure beats being a gay-hating di©khead, or a hypocrite. And, yes, I think he’s adorable.

Love me some Nick Jonas, but “authentic”? Sex appeal is a tale as old as time. Not mad at him, though. Although I’ll admit Joe Jonas has the better lower half, in my own opinion.
Shaun Adams
hot
Tony Chaplinski
some of us love him too
aliengod
He’s a definite hottie. Good for him for being so supportive of the LGB community.

@Xzamilio: Maybe by “authentic” he just means that he actualy enjoys having gay fans … as opposed to someone who smiles at gay fans while donating money to conservative hate legislation after shows.
Rodney Church
He’s HOT too, I like me some Nick J!
Robert Kinzey
Of course he does. He’s making big money over it.
Tom Hughsted
Not to be negative but I am not sure if he has much else as a base.
Rick Okarski Jr
<3
Giles Myhill
I had to look him up on the interweb!!! Definitely falls into the ‘seen better, had worse$ category!!!
Dan Steele
Yum

@edtaylorky: Maybe. Don’t really care though… like him and his whole demeanor. No enemy of the gay community, that’s for sure.
Chuck Stevenson
I genuinely love him!
NoCagada
Just come out, Nicky.
Scott Haltom
He knows where his money is coming from.
Captain Obvious
She pings, but I’ll pretend not to notice.
MadHatter
He really got the good genes in that family!
Desert Boy
If Nick ever wants to take a swim in the boy pool, I’m here. I think even my husband would give me a ‘one time pass’ for this. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I, too, love me some Nicky. MY Nicky. Have since he was a mop-headed, barely pubescent tweenster in that dopey family band he was in. Even then, I used to think to myself, “You know what, Self? That Nick Jonas is one VERY cute boy!”, followed soonafter by, “GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF, SELF! That is SCANDALOUS what you are imagining doing with him!” But then I’d get over myself and know that, soon enough, that Nick Jonas boy is going to turn into a very fine young man with body hair, muscles, visible peen lines, a solo career and all that other manly, yummy stuff. Mr. Jonas didn’t disappoint. And I can now legally have endless, highly entertaining, guilt-free fantasies of banging his “straight” brains out… 😉

Maybe we are moving toward a post-homophobic culture. It seems that an increasing number of young, straight men truly are comfortable with their gay peers and, more importantly, are not bothered by knowing that gay men are attracted to them.
Ismael Smiley Flores
Its so fkn annoying these pandering ass straight guys and these gay guys whom either dont know or dont care…

Not everything is fkn gay icon.

For his sake, he better not stop going to the gym because there’s so nothing else that he’s doing to warrant such a thing.
Captain Obvious
@Ismael Smiley Flores: At least it’s not another female. Let’s start with the right gender and then maybe they might remember there are hot gay guys who are fighting for our rights while the stereotypes are busy worshipping popstars who are doing nothing but making money and empty statements.

Just how huge do they have to be?
John Wayne Anderson
then he should start putting out.
stonrdude
If he is sincere and its not all about the money he makes off gay men who worship him.
jantheman4903
he seems consistent. why not wait n see? if he also appears at awards/uses his fame to further causes and raise money…then to me he is doin it well. but u gotta do it for at least 20 years to be an icon. e. taylor? she NEVER stopped working.
SteveDenver
THE BITCHES ARE LOUD ON THIS THREAD!
Such a bunch of bitter things you are.
The Jonas Bros still have great influence on an entire generation not on my radar because I don’t have kids. This age group is now graduating high school and college. For Nick to speak out and show up for gays is influential among young people.
I’m glad for his support and outspokenness.
BGinBigD
Nick Jonas is such a good guy on so many levels. And, yes, he’s soooo cute! Best of luck to him.
Billy Budd
He is cute and it is natural that he is grateful for his gay friends. We pay him.
