Well I grew up with his music so yes I have bought albums CDs, and cassettes. Every knew from the 70s he was gay and no, his fans will not care
I didn’t know John was homosexual, when I was a 70’s teenager buying his records: actual records. I even had a crush on him for years, because I didn’t know he wasn’t straight. BTW, I’ve seen articles using cisgender in place of straight. Frigging Newspeak.
