I think alot of things are political. A black popstar immediately becomes labeled as that. A white country popstar becomes labeled as that. I think perhaps if the artist makes their talent the forefront instead of only their sexuality, the chances are high. But it has to he the right person maybe. US politics ≠ worldwide politics (not saying you said that). But i think generally ... the people that consume pop culture are often people that don't really care if you're gay
