Poll question: Poll for queer men only!!!

Who is the star you picked to be your lifelong gay icon???

(please only vote if you're a queer man)



If your icon is not one of my shortsighted choices please post a reply listing your star and tell us why, why, and WHY!

If your icon IS one of my choices please post a reply anyway and tell us why SHE is your diva. BTW, since I was 14 mine has been Marilyn Monroe.

2. Does it have to be a woman?

[tedzbear]

3. Duuuhhh, I guess not.

Who is the lucky man?

[Placebo]

4. Andy Warhol

I've worshipped him for as long as I can remember. I'm a tad obsessed, heh. Definitely my idol.

9. HeHe I know!

Babies the same as animals, I mean really. :P I didn't take the bait though, I'm mature like that. (Yea right)

12. yes, you are - most of the time

6. Ah yes, how could I forget Andy!!!

His silk screen of Marilyn was fabulous.

His "Mao Marilyn" was shocking to her fans but politically astute.

7. I used to know Andy, he was cool

He always remembered my name when he saw me.People like that in NY make an impression.

[Placebo]

15. I wouldnt but then again I am straight

I admire his art that said, he's also a fellow Pittsburgler and Slovak and to be honest, I really had no idea he was gay until I read it a while back. Yes, I know, I am an idiot, good ole boy.

[mitchtv]

19. I would occaisionally go to the"factory"

I ran around with Bridet Berlin and Ondine. I knew Gerard Malangas cousin in school in Queens. Andy asked me to make "movies" since it did not pay, I declined. I was around in the early days od Edie Segwick. Andy was very sweet.

[tedzbear]

10. It also betrays an educated appreciation of the arts.

Opera ain't for sissies!

16. I can't believe I forgot to put Bette Midler in my top 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What kind of self-respecting queer am I???

Sorry, Bette my darling.

18. Thats who I was looking for.. Bette Midler is mine

Love the voice, love her movies, love her acceptance of gays. I couldn't tell you how many times I've reinacted the scene from "The Rose" where Bette was at a gay bar, doing a show with drag queens impersonating Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, and Mae West(I think?) doing the song "Fire Down Below" I love that scene!!!
