Aunque en la época en la que salió esta canción las mujeres suspiraban con el movimiento de abanicos de los cantantes, hoy se ve de una manera mucho menos inocente. Hay algo en la canción de Whitney Houston que gusta mucho en el colectivo gay. Esta canción es insigne del colectivo gay , pues apoya las diferencias y el entendimiento a que cada persona es diferente y hermosa, a su manera.

Aunque la canción habla de una mujer que supera una ruptura, el tema se popularizó en las discos de ambiente al considerar su letra poderosa, que podía ser interpretada como una muestra de orgullosa declaración gay e independencia. Los miembros de Queen vestidos de mujer, diciendo que quieren ser libres. Solo una cosa… el look femenino no le luce al fallecido Mercury.

Solo con decir que el escritor de la canción se inspiró a escribir esta canción luego de ver a miles de drag queens vestidas como Diana Ross en una disco gay de Nueva York , es suficiente. Cher es un ícono gay por excelencia.

La fuerza de su voz y su apariencia le dan el puesto de honor en la comunidad LGBT.
