Because that's one more, rather large voice out there aiding, directly or inadvertently, in the fight for equal representation and recognition of all forms of sexual orientation and love. As a bisexual person, it makes a big difference to me that the artists I support support me and my community; heck, I don't even like Lady GaGa, but I like that she likes gays. ;]

As for the "Colors" video, I do think that might be misconstrued as I believe the intertwined women have something to do with a type of performing arts, although I can see how one could infer differently with all of the rainbow streaks and whatnot. It's kind of like "You Make Me Want to Be a Man"- Utada may mean it one way, but when you hear the title you inevitably think of something else. And I'm sure Utada was not unaware of the alternate interpretation when she was writing it (she's no idiot), so there's probably a tongue-in-cheek meaning behind that particular titular option anyway.

And, of course, the fact that Ellen is gay means it does no harm to mention that Utada gives the gay shout-out in "On and On." That's already become my personal pride song, I can't wait for it to reach the wider LGBTQ community (I hope it does).
