i guess i'm alone here but i love rosie o'donnell....she is so honest, compassionate and caring....despite her sometimes brash nature, i believe she is one of the most hopeful, peaceful, emotional people i've seen in this world, and i think we need a whole lot more of them. she has her problems and she doesn't try to hide it.. isn't caught up in image and pretense, but will tolerate them to find the greater good and purpose.. i think she's wonderful.

needless to say, she and her partner kelli are two of my favorites.

angelina jolie may not be "gay" but i believe she's another person who is so honest and loving...again, has her fair share of problems..but i love the way she advocates loving a person for who they are as a PERSON, not a gendered species.. she's open to loving women if they fulfill her and make her a better person, and i think that's wonderful... she defies labels and boxes, and just tries to live her best life and stay true to what she feels.

ellen is hilarious....no doubt

and tom ford is just terribly good looking!

[TokyoVogue]

Chuck Palahnuik is a gay icon....please explain.

no, he's a gay "celebrity"
he could be an icon...to people who love his books i suppose
the thing though is he's not in your face about it
but if you've read invisible monsters im sure you've gotta wonder how he knows about fashion and P.F.L.A.G sooo well.

come out, come out, wherever you are, and meet the young lady who feel from a star....

little richard : the queen of rock and roll!

love "dorothy" (not judy garland as much, way too tragic for me), freddie mercury, rufus wainwright, meshell n'dege ocello, prince, sylvester, all the black and latino drag queens who invented voque-ing and never got credit (thank you ladies), rupaul (who writes a great blog, you oughta read it), rosie o'donnell for keeping it real, kd lang, eartha kitt for being fierce, billy strayhorn for being out when no one else was, aaron copland / john cage / any classical, avant-garde, or broadway composer who didn't marry a woman just so they could keep going to upstate NY everysummer with the boys and not have their names in the paper.....
