“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. One thing I have to say that is serious, that is from my 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.” – Cher, speaking at West Hollywood’s famed nightclub, The Abbey.
