Just like Sophia, this all started in 2017 (what an odd year) when Netflix mistakenly categorized The Babadook under LGBT movies. So imagine my confusion when my Twitter feed started calling him a gay icon out of nowhere. The Babadookĭisclaimer: The Babadook-both the film and character-frightens me. However, in terms of her openly supporting the community, there’s none-save for a deleted tweet where she said she’s “curious about the gays.” (It’s still on Google if you look it up.) Maybe she’s not saying anything considering that she’s a Saudi Arabian citizen and the country isn’t exactly gay-friendly. He did brilliant work under such difficult circumstances. She tweeted that mathematician Alan Turing, who was gay, is one of her heroes.Īlan Turing is one of my heroes. Carly Rae JepsenĪ post shared by Aquaria most recent example of Sophia’s alleged LGBTQ+ alliance was last April. But hey, many still believe she’s doing great work in directing the attention to the community and the Equality Act. During Pride Month, for example, people thought she only did that to promote her upcoming album, Lover. It’s a valid critique since Taylor comes off as a self-serving feminist at times because she only speaks up when it benefits her. But many people weren’t buying Taylor’s allyship, even when she came out with the “You Need to Calm Down” music video and started wearing rainbow prints at shows. Swifties have been calling their idol a gay icon ever since she started publicly expressing her support for the LGBTQ+ community and rallying for the Equality Act’s passage. POP SUPERSTAR, POLITICAL ACTIVIST, AND GAY ICON, MISS TAYLOR ALISON SWIFT EVERYBODY /RwLMfuwizW Are people having fun with the idea? Absolutely, but we’re still confused. To quoted the outlet, her height “automatically makes her a model IMO.”ĭoes it make sense why she’s a gay icon now? No. But as of yesterday, Dazed called her an LGBTQ+ icon after seeing netizens live for her sassiness, and the fact that Peppa Pig Radio on Spotify includes song from the likes of Doja Cat and Rina Sawayama.Īnother reason Dazed gave is the fact netizens found out Peppa Pig is allegedly seven-feet tall. She’s actually trended multiple times from being used in internet memes to becoming a bootleg fashion star in China. Peppa Pig is a Nickelodeon character from a children’s show of the same name. Not updated? Don’t worry, we’re giving you a rundown and the reasons behind their gay icon status.

But it just seemed like most of them all started as a joke and everyone just went along with it until people took it kinda seriously. There are still pop singers, but also some fictional characters that were sort of inducted in the “queer hall of fame.” Ideally, there’s a plausible reason why the LGBTQ+ community is worshipping them. According to Huffington Post, most gay men tend to admire these women because of their “highly stylized femininity and toughness combined with abjection.” Another observation is because gay men and women are both considered minorities, and they could identify with that.Īs of recent, the list of gay icons have become… interesting. If you look at the people that the LGBTQ+ community bow down to, they usually include the likes of Madonna, Lady Gaga, Diana Ross, Judy Garland, and Bette Davis.
