Virgos Groove Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I don't consider her one, but I also wouldn't judge anyone for doing so. The requirements to being one have become more and more nebulous as the years have passed, and are always going to influenced by personal experiences. Would I, a gay man, consider her a gay icon? No, certainly not in the same way Madonna or Gaga are. But I also know lesbians who consider her a gay icon and believe that her lyrics are sapphic-coded (either on purpose or by accident). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinster13 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 She’s remained silent about anti trans legislation whilst holding the strongest social currency that any pop star has had in a long time, so no. 3 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordecai Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 ...not every female popstar is a gay icon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LustSpell Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 No, she's not. You can be popular with the gays and not be an icon. Most female pop stars are this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State of Grace. Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I do think that she is considered one by many young Gen Z queer people and sapphics love her a lot, but yeah Virgos Groove said it all above basically. Not everyone is gonna be a gay icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariananext Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 No, her level of vocal is the bare minimum, especially nowadays when it's considered "safe". But I'm straight so it's not my place to talk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magdalene Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 she disqualified herself from that title when she released you need to calm down if she really wanted to be one she’s gotta do the pre requisite and be a guest judge on drag race (a night of a thousand taylor swift’s/ the taylor swift musical going through her eras would be so fun) she’s gained a large sapphic audience so maybe for the lesbians yeah, just not in the gay man demographic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Americana Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 She has more lesbian stans than all the other mpgs combined... LGBT doesnt just include gay men, you know. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatyPrismSpirit Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 when i think of LGBT icon, i think of Cher, Janet Jackson, Grace Jones, Madonna. Not taylor swift… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightsAtPeace Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 she's not "colorful wigs, controversial interviews, half-naked men in her videos, extravagant looks, intense dance moves" kind of LGBTQ+ icon. she's beloved by many queers all around the world, including myself. and you know that gay men are not the only members of the LGBTQ+ community, right? she has the population of lesbians in a chokehold. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebodybigheart Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) not really, no she’s very big amongst the lesbian community though Edited August 20, 2023 by littlebodybigheart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

réveuse Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 My answer is no. She has been a slightly below average ally and most likely isn't queer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
réveuse Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I don't know for the non binaries etc. Queer men most likely think she's okay, but not a queer icon the same as Madonna or Lady Gaga. Queer women either love her or hate her. No in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylena Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 It's crazy cause like 4 or 5 years ago I was the only queer woman in my group of friends that liked her and now they all stan her. Even my closest friend who's a die hard Arianator loves her now and before she couldn't care less when I kept blabbering about her music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylena Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 The Kaylor/Gaylor community is probably bigger than certain pop girls entire LGBTQ+ fanbase but let's not go there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
