Postmodernism is the idea that we are living in a world of images, where our posessions define who we are. And our musical tastes are reflected in our CD collections, right?

Allright, since all the guys have omitted any lesbians from this gay icon list, I'll start the lesbian list! Haha.

Ellen Degeneres
Rosie O Donnell
Jennifer Beales
Courtney Cox
Jodi Foster
k. d. lang
Jenny Shimizu
Portia DeRossi
Kate Moenning
Angelina Jolie
Sandra Bullock
Kate Winslet (I honestly don't know if the above two are lesbian icons, but they do have a really strong lesbian following.)
Lily Tomlin
Billie Holiday
Clea Duvall
Tina Fey
SARAH SILVERMAN!

Ok. Those are just a few. And probably more of them are just women with a really strong lesbian following, maybe not icons. But they're popular in the gay community.<br /><br />Post edited by: dymphna, at: 2007/03/17 19:46

They are icons for me, because watching Will &amp; Grace makes me feel good.

Among the lesbians, Ellen DeGeneres and Kate Moennig are my favorites. The Indigo Girls aren't half-bad either.

the gossip and alex parks
dont shoot me for saying alex parks please XD

is it just me or has everyone forgotten about Dolly Parten? not that i'm into the whole 'gay icon' thing...

Im gonna salute the late,great Gia Carangi. AND Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day,even though Hes bisexual.

I think gay-icons are great in supporting you through hard times!

P!nk - this woman has helped me through so much! totally amazing woman!

Madonna - Has helped countless people through rough patches, ive read so many stories on how people saw her Truth Or Dare documentary and it was the first time they had seen 2 men kiss and she made it look so natural and an everday thing!

Skin (Ex Skunk Anansie) - has quite a large gay following also!

Peaches - Just go to one of her gigs and see all the gay people there!
