Having a gay old time: Nick Jonas, who has said he loves having a horde of homosexual fans, arriving at Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood on Tuesday night
He told Attitude magazine: 'There’s a thing of recognizing that you have gay fans, as a male artist.
'I was speaking to some of my very close gay friends as I was making the record, and they told me I should really make the effort to embrace my gay audience as it’s bigger than I might think.'
The 22-year-old hunk, who recently split up with former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo, is also hoping he is beating a path that others in the industry will follow.
He said: 'There should be more heterosexual male artists who are comfortable enough to attract a gay audience and do it in a way that’s authentic.
'With me, it comes from a very genuine and loving place.'

Hand on heart: The Jonas Brother said his love for his gay fans comes from a 'genuine and loving place'
Nick also said he can become something of an advocate for his gay fans in future.
The musical performer said: 'Intolerance in general to me is heart-breaking. I am happy and willing and ready to do all I can to help break down walls because at this point in time, it’s just unacceptable.'
But it is not just when Nick is around his gay fans that he is mobbed.
For he created quite a stir as he arrived at Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood on Tuesday night, having to dodge several excited photographers as he headed into the venue.
The beefcake looked every inch the pop hunk in a smart blue shirt, black shoes and leather shoes, though he may have stylistically overextended himself with his trendy buzz cut hairstyle.
