Discussion: The REAL Gay Icon?

BudBud

With so many gays coming out to play these days.

Who is the REAL gay icon? (no pop girls and such, i feel like you should be gay first to be a gay icon - our people should lead our people)

Who leads and represents this generation's youth LGBT?

Ellen? Frank? Sam? Tom? Perez (

)?

Stan or not, I think Gaga. Who else is so synonymous with gays, and actively supporting? It should be Kathy Griffin, but she lacks the star power.

Elizabeth Taylor, Laverne Cox, Timothy Cook (Apple CEO), Peter Tatchell & Oscar Wilde

Tom Ford

Considering her song is responsible for the gay flag and her death started the gay right movement, I'd say Judy Garland.

This is true - past that, I think the only applicable gay icons at the moment are the standard divas who have always been there for their gay fans. Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Midler, Liza Minnelli, Lady Gaga. If it had to be someone truly gay then probably Ellen.
