As queer folks our icons mean a lot to us, they are the shining beacons of light in a world that at times feels very dark and foggy. They give us hope, bring us joy, and model fabulosity, camp, transgression, and yes wisdom. Whether they are out and proud or just allies, we are happy to claim them as family.
This is all being celebrated in the upcoming book The Gay Icon's Guide to Lifewritten by Michael Joosten, in it the author highlights inspiring and entertaining quotes, alongside adorable illustrations from the icons we love most. From George Takei and Beyonce to Betty White, and RuPaul to David Bowie these icons are forever near and dear to our hearts and these quotes are a beautiful reminder of why we have claimed them for our own.
