Mirrion Rizzons 9,943 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 she's always been mega supportive of the LGBTQ+ Community but I've never really seen others recognize her as a gay icon. Have you? She definitely deserves to be one,so I vote yes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeachJug 2,928 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Just now, Mirrion Rizzons said: She definitely deserves to be one,so I vote yes i voted no. not that she doesn't deserve to be one - she does.. but she isn't probably because she doesn't stand out artistically as much as true gay iconsĀ - Gaga, Madonna, Bowie, etc... she's super talented though!

edengowon 9,644 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I think a gay icon is someone who is very representative of the LGBĀ community as a whole I don't think P!NK is a gay ICON, definitely a huge ally though the artist formerly known as melancholia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKANK 14,288 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 She is a rebellious, gender non-conforming, pop star who took on social justice issues before being a social justice warrior was cool. She became an important figure for a generation of lesbians by showing the world that butch is beautiful. She is a gay icon. Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEETHTEETH 1,110 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 If not an icon, she played a big role in breaking the mold, paving the way for more self representation in the music scene.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmNotHere1997 25,824 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 No. You need to doĀ some big things LGBT-related, or at least have a huge gay fanbase,Ā in order toĀ really be considered a gay icon in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geopang 4,831 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 People voting no must be have been after the year 2000Ā lol. She is indeed a gay icon. She was a huge icon for gays and especially lesbians for all of my childhood and teen years, and she continues to be. Sheās always been an ally and has songs that encompass equality and calling out homophobia.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyDWUW 3,971 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 āLMAO NOā should be an awesomeĀ option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rio 5,088 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 she has a LOT of lesbian fans. so Iād say YES Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaye Monster 8,583 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Yes. Of course she is. Sheās been supporting LGBT+ people her whole career, and sheās raising her child as gender neutral I think I think that sheās just been overshadowed by the likes of Gaga and Madonna, which is a shame because sheās a brilliant artist and a good person I'm an ARTPOP bitch, baby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudraCNG 13,418 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I'd say she is. You don't need to shout every second "I'm pro-lgtb!!" to actually be it. P!nk has always included feminist, rebelliousĀ and pro-equality messages in her songs and speeches, and has always encouraged everybody to be what they want and to be proud of it.

She was always outspoken and straight forward and supportive of minorities but nowhere near popĀ culture, which is indeed the status quo of the gay community. InĀ fact she dissed pop culture and everything gays stand for a lot. She is a rebel, she is a feminist, she supports equality and LGBT rights but she has beenĀ against everything "queer" definiton stands for. That makes her a great ally but definitely not an icon.
