How can I become a gay icon? Tips anyone?

Yes, I'd like to be like Liza, Judy, Cher, Madonna, Dan Savage and all the rest. Is there room in the world for more gay icons? Can anyone become one, or is there something special you need? I would prefer to be a non-famous gay icon if that is possible, because I'd be too scared of being famous and it would ruin my life as a hermit.

    There's plenty of room.

    IMHO: First you have to suffer, or at least talk about suffering. Being insanely pretty won't do, because then you're not suffering enough- you might need to ugly up a little, KB. Then you need to make some sort of art that the gayiconizers will appreciate, like Greek Active's plays, or "If I Could Turn Back Time" or a musical set in the emerald city - of course, when possible, use all those elements for the ultimate FTW factor.

    Cher as Elphaba @ the Rebar: think about it... Savor it... ooh yeah. If you could be the producer of such a masterpiece, you might get a good first step
    ;)

    I'm not sure how well "icon" and "non-famous" can co-exist. Having a hard time conjuring that image.
    The only pro-hermit icon I can muster is some sort of Oracle at Delphi -type creature...

    Best of luck. Looking forward to saying "I knew her when..."
