Cher recalls the first time she ever met a gay person & offers a touching message to her LGBTQ+ fans - Queerty
Briefly

The first gay guys I ever met, I was 9 years old. I walked into my house and there were these two guys there and they started talking to my mom and mom's best friend. I was thinking, 'Where have they been hiding these guys?' I'm 9, but I thought, 'Wait a minute... Why aren't the other guys as funny as these guys?' It really was love at first sight.
And the one thing that I have to say that is serious, that is from the heart, is that I've had really ups and downs in my career - I mean, really! - and you guys never left me. So, thank you.
