Gay Icons: 25 Divas Who Have Been Embraced by Gay Culture!

A gay icon is a celebrity or public figure who is embraced by the gay community. To reach gay icon status, one has to be able to relate to us through flamboyance, strength, triumph over adversity, glamor and even androgyny. Divas with powerhouse voices, gay anthems, over-the-top personalities and an unapologetic and unforgettable approach to fashion that would inspire envy in a drag queen are likely to become gay icons. madonna mariah carey whitney houston judy garland liza minnelli diana ross beyonce bette midler kesha britney spears cher robyn christina aguilera divas live best vocals bette midler lady gaga kylie minogue nicki minaj
