Why are certain people "gay icons" ? Is it the tragedy aspect combined with enormous talent or ??
I definitely think that a person who has dealt with tragedy and come through it with a sense of humor is most assuredly a Icon. As far as being a gay icon...I think if they truly & sincerely support the gay community, try to be as honest and open as possible about their individual feelings (Cher had a moment when she had a bit of difficulty with the whole Chaz, but she came through) and treat us with dignity & respect...they deserve to be an icon.
oiy.
i'm dating myself.
judy garland. the one and only.
i'd post a youtube of her but i don't know how(or even it's possible, hint hint)
I figured out who my fav gay icon is: Kylie Minogue
and the most fun one: Dame Edna
ask and ye shall receive -- enjoy!
Cleve Jones
Lady Gaga for very young guys, Madonna for middle age guys :-)
yes Madonna is very popular, I love her :beauty:
Bette Midler for me!
Kurt from Glee is an Icon representing the current anti-Bullying message.
As the recent episode of Glee depicted, anti-Gay Bullying is as much (if not more) "from behind us"*, as it is in the face of all of us who are "differently" talented and abled.
In that episode, Kurt's jock Bully nemesis, who is always throwing him against the lockers, snuck a KISS from him.
Internalized homophobia runs rampant. Kurt symbolizes the opposite.

There’s battle lines being drawn.
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong.
Young people speaking their minds,
Getting so much resistance from behind.
I like Glee :-)
Damn if I had to pick I would probably choose Madonna, Britney, Kylie, and Kathy Griffin.
Sylvester comes to mind. Ms Patti LaBelle, Madonna, Judy Garland....I could go on.....
How could you guys possibly forget Carol Channing??? :moon:
Having said that DonMike, now every time that I see you I am going to pester you relentlessly with my Carol Channing impersonation.
the majority of those names seem to be women , all my ICON's seem to be men , I must be a Lesbian? :)
Errol Flynn
Tyrone Power
Dean Martin
Johnny Mathis
I have nothing against women , I just don't fantasize having a mad 4-way with Carol Channing , Lucille Ball , and Babs! ( interpreted: I would prefer Lindsey Lohan , Christina Applegate , and Hilary Duff :img56: )
