Britney Spears, Patron Saint of Coming Out

David LeCours wrote Britney Spears a handwritten note and was able to give it to his idol at a meet-and-greet during Brit’s Planet Hollywood Pieces of Me show in Las Vegas.

After posing for a pic and passing off the letter, LeCours left the meet-and-greet only to be followed by one of Britney’s bouncers with a special request from the pop bitch herself.

LeCours shared this on Instagram:

I honestly can’t believe I got to meet this wonderful and beautiful women again. She is the sweetest and nicest person alive. I got to give her my letter that I put so much effort into. The letter explained how she helped me get through a real tough period in my life these past couple of months, and how I wanted to end it all but she made me be strong. As I was leaving the building where the meet and greet was held, Britney’s body guard ran and stopped me and said Britney requested my address so she could respond because my letter meant so much to her. Thank you for everything Britney. I wouldn’t be able to be so confident and open about my sexuality if your music and you didn’t help me. I love you so much, thank you for not only being my inspiration but helping me get back up and be strong.
