Cyndi Lauper is unmistakably a modern celebrity gay icon. Where is she noted in this article? Her absence leaves out an important part of history. 162.251.172.28 ( talk) 10:17, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
To me at least, she’s kinda the definition of a gay icon. Her fan base is largely LGBT, she’s known for working with LGBT producers and musicians like Rina Sawayama and SOPHIE, and she’s incredibly out about her support of LGBT rights Serok Ayris ( talk) 03:31, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Where is the citation for this? This is also not mentioned on the Saint Sebastian page 2601:645:400:A:7512:7F15:E746:B398 ( talk) 02:48, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
Minelli seems conspicuously absent, as is Midler, Streisand, Diana Ross, etc. These people have been gay icons for much longer than many of the people listed, longer than some have been alive. Minelli’s Wikipedia specifically mentions she is a gay icon as well and cites this article.
