Judy Garland, Cher, Madonna, Mariah, Gaga, Kylie, RuPaul, Pet Shop Boys & Barbara Streisand are people who come to mind.

There are a lot more to name, but I've just woken up from a nap :joker: all you have to do nowadays is be confident & a bit sassy, and obviously vocal about your stance on gay rights...

Who is Julie Garland?

Dorothy from Wizard Of Oz

Freddie Murcury?

Big Fan of Freddie ^^^^^ Shame he not still here

All those mentioned, but what about the great Marlene Dietrich? Oh, and the beautiful Divine?

Lady Gaga, Madonna, Cher, Diana Ross, Janet Jackson, Martha Wash, Spice Girls, Demi Lovato, Cyndi Lauper, Beyoncé, (although they are both male) RuPaul, and George Takei come to mind for me.

Why are most people just naming random women celebrities, that aren't even gay?

It's like asking a footballer, who is your footballing icon, and them saying Meryl Streep.

What about actually having a gay person as a gay icon, some are not all that bad.

The best gay icon right now is, Milo Yiannopoulos

Lana Del Rey
Nicki Minaj
Ariana Grande is a massive icon as her brother, Frankie Grande, is in fact one of the gays himself.

You're clearly either trolling or have no idea of what a gay icon is.

I'd like to think good people would not idolise that piece of ****, Milo Yiannopoulos. It's ridiculous to even name him. He's a desperate attention-seeker who wants to offend people in the most disgusting ways. i.e: saying that gay people should not be allowed to marry, it's acceptable for straight people to use the word ******, making disparaging remarks against transgender people...the list goes on.

Well what's your idea of a gay icon? someone like Michelle Visage, who uses gay people as a fashion accessory, for her to look good and cool.

You don't like Milo because he tells the truth and you'd rather live in fantasy land.

Someone who embraces the gay community. Not someone who uses their voice to allow people to spew their ignorance and hate.

I don't like Milo because he is a ****, and if he does tell the 'truth' then I'd rather live in fantasy land. Gladly.

Pingu

This self loathing piece of **** is about as iconic as a toilet brush. Let's not.

Why are people bringing up people that aren't Valerie Pollard and Charlie Doherty?

Tulisa

I don't agree with the Milo pick, but I agree with you that Michelle Visage uses gay people to further her own career rather than actually caring about gay people.

Luisa Zissman

Donald Trump loves gays. He's a daddy!

Tells the truth? You mean harasses black celebrities on twitter and compares them to gorillas? Sure Jan.

:clap1: everyone else cancelled

I would say Sir Ian McKellen, Oscar Wilde, Stephen Fry, Harvey Milk...

Can't really speak for lesbians but one would assume Frida Kahlo, Virginia Woolf... and more recently Jodie Foster, Ellen DeGeneres?

Madonna and Cher

Ellen DeGeneres lauded for gay rights influence - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38073567

Great speech from Obama, so happy for her :clap1:

The fantastic Douglas Murray
