Overview
The Scissor Sisters have revealed they received hate mail after their appearance on Saturday Night Live.
Frontman Jake Shears blames the band's open display of campness for turning off many of his fellow countrymen.
He told the Sydney Morning Herald, "People in the UK, more so than in the United States, realise that music transcends sexuality.
"I think people in America think that we've got an agenda or something up our sleeve. Y'know, people suspect that you're not honest about what you're doing. That's just not the case.
"I think people in the UK and, from what I know, in Australia understand that we are coming from a really honest place."
The New York band have sold nearly 1,600,000 copies of their self-titled debut album in the UK alone.
This won three awards at the Brits - Best International Breakthrough Act, Best International Group and Best International Album.
Their album has sold just over 150,000 copies in the US.document.write(unescape("
