This list is way off...you are talking gay icons....Better Midler...she has been since working in the bathhouses in Chicago when Barry Manilow was her backup piano player....Donna Summer is a nother icon in gay culture...NAM...i am with you...Icons to me are forever and the ladies above with Barbra of course has lasted thru the times as true gay icons...
Being a gay man - I take big offense to this list - Beyonce - please - never - Brittanny Spears - hardly - the biggest gay icons that there are were not on tis list - Bette Midler is by far #1 - no one comes close to her except for possibly Cher - who ever did this - should perhaps ask a gay person instead of what a straight person thinks
You do realize you could be institutionalized for omitting Janet Jackson from this list? She wrote and sang songs about gay self acceptance in the mid 90's, long before it was popular to do so. Now that its in fashion to be pro equal rights, I think its important to remember and recognize pioneers.
Wow... Where did you get this from? Where were Bette Midler, Donna Summer, Diana Ross, Mariah, Cindi Lauper, Patti LaBelle, Grace Jones and about like 4 other great gay diva icons? Where did "Britney" and like 2 others non-discript newcomers come from? Perhaps you should re-title this as "your personal top 10" gay icons. There were like 4 on there that don't belong or should be way, way down the list. Hey, maybe do more research and come up with the top 20 or 25. (Celine??? nah...)
My God it was Judy death that started Stone Wall! What an omission! Maybe you should rename this as a modern list instead, otherwise you would have to add Judy, Bette, Diana Ross, Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Munro.... or I guess you could do the top 25 or something to add everyone....there have been so many including Deitrick and Garbo and more....
What about Olivia Newton John. She starred in a Cable Show called Sordid Lives where she played a Lesbian. Crystal Chappell who played Olivia Spencer on Guiding Light and Gina on Venice.
You need to bump Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, and Kylie Minogue from that list. None of them are nearly iconic enough to be one of the "Top 10" Gay Icons. Lady Gaga should also be bumped. She hasn't been around long enough to know if she will withstand the test of time. There are many other divas more worthy than these. Whitney and Mariah, for example. And it's a TRAVESTY that Judy Garland and Bette Midler weren't even on the list.
This was obviously perceived by someone in their teens or twentys. Think you left some out. And, why can't they just be good appreciated entertainers instead of catigorized as gay icons. Stop separating yourselves from society as a race or group and maybe society will do the same.
@levinmoses Christina is FAR FROM #1 - she has not even been out that long, and she is not that much of a diva (especially when you compare her to the legends) ....The #1 should, either, be Madonna, Diana Ross, or Cher ...I wanna, also, give mention to Bette Midler, Donna Summer, Joan Crawford, Marilyn Monroe, and the O.G. diva, Josephine Baker
Diana Ross, Agnetha Faltskog & Anni-Frid Lyngstad of ABBA, The Princess of Wales, The Duchess of Cambridge, Bette Midler, Victoria Beckham, many many more. And freakin Britney Spears? Please!
Many ladies missing from this list...I agree with Madonna as #1. But Christina?? really???..I guess it's a generational thing as to who your Icons are.
Where the hell is Diana Ross?! Are you nuts?! "I'm Coming Out", REMEMBER???!!! Damn, no Bette Midler, Donna Summer etc. You REALLY need to remake this list!
My list would be 1.Madonna 2.Cher 3.Judy Garland 4.Barabara Streisand 5.Bette Middler 6.Kylie Minogue 7.Mariah Carey 8.Diana Ross 9.Liza Minelli 10.Lady Gaga
I know alot of the gays love Beyonce but to me it seems more of a one sided thing.The others on the list seem to be more outspoken when it comes to gay issues and visibility.No offence, I love Beyonce myself :)
I wouldn't know Beyonce or Christina A. if they walked through my front door, and I'm gay-lol. By the way, isn't Judy Garland the gay icon of all time?
i love the video, but belive its missing some icons, heres how my list would go: 1) Madonna (of course) 2) Lady Gaga 3) Kylie 4) Pink 5) Annie Lennox 6) Liza Minelli 7) Cher 8) La Roux 9) Britney 10) Gwen Stefani
love it! MADONNA sure deserves #1 but I missed many icons, though: Judy Garland, Marlene Dietrich, Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean. And I think Gaga should be in a higher position too (#4?)
Great list! I'm 16 so I wasn't really around when most of them were real huge but my list is 1. Lady Gaga 2. Patty Lupone 3. Judy Garland 4. Cher 5. Liza Minelli 6. Beyonce 7. Ellen Degeneres 8. Tyra Banks 9. P!nk 10. Beth Midler
@Holebis yes i guess it depends on the age the only one in this list i like is Britanny Spears I certainly dont like Celene dion I hate her voice Beonce, Lady gaga and Madonna are all ILUMINATI puppets.
I prefer some of the old Hollywood stars Jayne Mansfield, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. I dont know if they are considered gay Icons though.
i don't think gaga is even human,as krazy as it sound,at tops gaga is a man mos def not a female....that's a solid top 10 list.waiting on the top 10 male.i can name them rite now but i don't want to spoil it,keep that exposure coming.

Beyonce? so, so... maybe... but Xtina A'guerila, I don't thinks so... she not an icon either, she just a typical blonde pop chick who copies Britney.
Yes, we saw here few good tips like: Donna Summer, Cindy Lauper, or Diana Ross etc...
But such a SHAME everybody forget a very big name actually: the great and the greatest GLORIA GAYNOR!!!
(funny also the word "GAY" on her name)
SHAME ON YOU ALL! :D And listen to there I will survive right NOW!!!

Hi, it's certainly not my top 10. Only 3 I like.
Although i can understand why you choose these ones,
maybe DJ's are playing these a lot on gay parties, but
if you would ask gay persons of different age what music
they play on their CD-player, and love the most, I don't think
you would get all of these.
And where is the classical Gloria Gaynor with "I will survive" ?
(though I don't like the lyrics) And Agnetha, the blonde of Abba (i like most)
