I am in a listing type mood, and have been watching football and listening to music from days long past all night, and made me miss old times and old friends, and the songs put me in the mood to write this diary.
There are certain artists that have a large gay fan base, and serve as icons to the gay culture at large.
Ever since I was a young gaybee I grew up listening to the below listed artists, I cannot say what specifically called out from them to me, but I do know that I felt at home and comfortable whenever they were playing, I guess for a lack of a better word I felt "acceptance."
I am sure I might have forgotten several others, this list is not meant to be all inclusive, it is all inclusive to my memory, which is not the greatest memory in the world. I am sure someone will post someone else and I will be amazed that I forgot that person but... I wanted to keep the diary to the ten I could think of.
So please join me in listening to 10 great musician across time, that each were icons in their own right.
Judy Garland
Cher
Barbra Streisand
Liza Minnelli
Carol Channing
Bette Midler
Donna Summer
Madonna
Patsy Cline
Gloria Gaynor
