But, for my surprise, that didn't happen: most fans, so far, have supported his decision. We latin-americans are usually very sexist and conservative, especially when it comes to accepting homosexuality, so I definitely felt surprised once I realised that most fans were supporting Christian. That said, I don't think Ricky's fanbase would desert him incase he came out. | Not to sound like a wet blanket, but: - it's only been a couple of weeks since that happened, so the impact can't be assessed yet
- he's not a solo performer, in fact he's probably a bit-part of that band at best, so in the sense that his band won't fall apart if young girls can't fantasise about him, he's disposable
