I really beg to differ on the boys and girls act the same thing. Maybe in cities, but not everywhere. Here no man would dare listen to Vanessa Carlton. Except me of course.
I mean, I wouldn't consider Cincinnati a big city, but I go to an all guy school and there are at least 4 or 5 other guys I know that like Vanessa and none of them are gay - or flaming or out, for that matter. I am not gay and I love V's music.
Cincinnati's is pretty big.lol
See what I mean? Let's claim vanessa for gay people on a standard based on one gay guy who lives in an area that tries to repress his sexuality. A standard that is irrevocable because everywhere has more people then he lives. Hell, lets just count your neighborhood. We'll focus on the bully.
We could even go as far as finding a gay guy in the alaskian tundra who is convinced the polar bears don't see his sexuality the way he does and needs vanessa to help identify with it.
