Amongst the gay community (us gays) we like to have icons. Over the years we have called out quite a few. Ranging from Madonna & Kylie back in the day to more modern icons like Barack Obama, Lady Gaga or Stephen Fry.
But are they true icons or just people that dabble in ‘camp’ and know that the pink pound will get them far? Where does the need for an icon come from? Someone high profile to lead our cause or even someone that’s ‘come out’ and made a success of themselves as an example to us all?
