The show, called Gay Icons, was previously noted back in March for snubbing obvious choices like Liza, Judy and Barbra. Instead, the celebrity panel chose from their hearts, such as they are.
Elton John chose John Lennon, his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin, Gianni Versace and few randoms. Bilie Jean King chose her wife and some members of her family (leave it to the dyke to be boring). Sir Ian McKellan chose Walt Whitman.
But the prize, in our book, for the most honest and awesome choices goes to Lord Waheed Alli, who picked Princess Diana, The Village People and a portrait of porn legend and weird, violent neighbor Jeff Stryker, naked in a tangle of white sheets. Alli said, “I wanted a porn star because for me you could not divorce sex from sexualilty.”
Hear hear, Lord Alli! We couldn’t have chosen better ourselves.

The assignment was to name heroes, it doesn’t matter whether they’re gay or straight!

What was Stryker’s line from Powertool: ‘You want me to fuck you like a lady- don’t you?’
Huge cock, not so huge cum shots!
