‘If I were gay, the second that I knew, I would have said, "OK, everybody, this is how it is, and either you still like me or I don’t care." I think that if you are gay, you just have to say "It’s great!"’
This was the musical legend's reply back in 2014 when she sat in an interview with Out Magazine.
Nicks has always shown her support towards the LGBTQIA+ community, and even on the interview, she addresses how she has never seen gay people different than any other people.
Speaking about the gay people's support on her music, she says,
‘I can’t say that I’m so glad that gay people like my music, because I have never looked at gay people as different from any other people,’
Her reply goes on to show the considerable amount of support she has for the community. Although Nicks at times is speculated to be lesbian, she, however, is not one.

"My mission maybe wasn't to be a mom and a wife; maybe my particular mission was to write songs to make moms and wives feel better."
