The Definitive List Of The Top Twenty Four 'Gay Icons'

Gay Icons - The definitive list of the top twenty-four gay icons.

By Roy Steele

It won't come as a shock to anyone when I say I'm a friend of Dorothy! 

I was messing around and trying to create a realistic portrait of Judy Garland, the first and most prominent gay icon in history, and shared a draft with my dear friend Matthew Newman who lives in South Africa. He gave me positive feedback and suggested that I do more portraits like it - so I gave it a whirl!

Am I an artist? After taking a class in graphic design, I taught myself advanced graphic design through trial and error using online resources, and I learned HTML coding and web design the same way in order to maintain my blog and create the beautiful graphics you see here for my blog posts. It was a lengthy struggle creating these portraits and while some were done in a day, others took days and days.

Creating artistic portraits of gay icons mandated that I understand what defined a gay icon, and then who should be included in a list, so I started my research by searching with Google. I was surprised to find that I couldn’t find a published comprehensive list of gay icons anywhere online.

Breaking News In Yuba County Underrated Film Of The Year

The zany comedy Breaking News In Yuba County (2021) is the most under-appreciated movie of the year.

I’m a gay man with an opinion about lots of things happening today. From politics to pop culture and history, science, and technology, I follow these topics and read about them constantly, and because I’m human I form opinions about them.

I’m not a movie critic per se but I’m a consumer of music, television, and film, and I like to be entertained. I watch television and see lots of movies, and I form my opinion about these art forms based on my emotions.

LGBTQ Sen. Kyrsten Sinema - From Obstructionist To Shero?

By Roy Steele

There are exactly two United States Senators who publicly identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer. Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) are the dynamic and capable LGBTQ duo in the upper chamber of Congress. 

With only two LGBTQ Senators, I worry about their images and how they are portrayed in the media because it reflects on our community. 

Senator Joni Ernst, Republican of Iowa, Wants Your Pussy!

Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) wants your pussy and no one is talking about it!

It's unfathomable to me that men and women will vote for a political party that is ANTI-WOMEN. Why do they do it? This is a transcription of a real conversation I had with a friend about the Republican Party's continuing War On Women.

ROY: Dustin, If I told you there’s a bill in Congress introduced to protect federal funding for women’s healthcare, called the “Protect Funding for Women’s Health Care Act”, would you believe me?

Racism: Marjorie Taylor Greene's Anglo-Saxon Obsession

By Roy Steele

This is crazy. The embattled Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (Q-GA) is fighting hard for attention and relevance in the halls of Congress, among the media, and in the Republican party. She’s a political rookie who dove headfirst into the deep end. She wants to be useful and productive but is in water way over her head. She seemingly has nothing to do except stir up trouble.

Trump and the GOP Battle To Preserve White Privilege

DUMB DUMB Donald Trump looks into a mirror being held by an aide at CPAC 2021 in Orlando, Florida.

Did you catch this? Some people will never learn. There he was in his stock uniform. He had on that awful looking wrinkled navy blue ill-fitting suit. The ‘Just For Men’ dyed blonde hair under his wig was a bit wild and needed a trim, while the poorly applied orange makeup and under-eye concealer wasn't blended in.

The legendary penny-pincher hasn't learned to avoid off-the-rack ninety nine dollar suits purchased in the Big and Tall department. His signature red necktie had visible food stains. Barely held together by a paper clip and scotch tape, it was slightly askew and too long. Makes you wonder who gives him the once over when he leaves the house.

Oops! I forgot. HE gives himself the once over. He's an image expert, a television reality show host, a wannabe politician, and a bankrupt businessman rolled into one, and he's somehow smarter than every general in our military. He has the best education, the best words, and claims to know EVERYTHING - and I can only assume that's how people who know everything roll!
