According to this article on Wikipedia, many of the world's finest are LGBTQI role models or icons
A gay icon is a public figure (historical or current) who is embraced by many within lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities. Dykon, a portmanteau of the words "dyke" and "icon", has recently entered common lexicon to describe figures particularly iconic to lesbians.[1]
Qualities of a gay icon often include glamour, flamboyance, strength through adversity, and androgyny in presentation. Such icons may be of any sexuality or gender; they may also be closeted or open with their sexual orientation and gender identity. Although most gay icons have given their support to LGBT social movements, some have expressed opposition – advocating against a perceived "homosexual agenda"...
The majority of gay icons fall into one of two categories: the tragic, sometimes martyred figure or the prominent pop culture idol.
Well duh! Everyone knows that most gay icons (or Dykons, as they prefer to be referred to) are either suicidal (as the article formerly stated) or sing!
Some gay icons you may have heard of!
(Probably because they are actually just LGBTQI rights activists in general!)
Some gay icons don't actually exist!
The relationship between Batman and arch villain The Joker has also been interpreted by many as homoerotic. Frank Miller, author of The Dark Knight Returns, has described the relationship between Batman and the Joker as a "homophobic nightmare," and views the character as sublimating his sexual urges into crime fighting, concluding, "He'd be much healthier if he were gay."
Cartoon characters SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star have additionally become gay icons, due to their sometimes double entendre dialogues in their (cult) TV cartoon show.
Some gay icons are probably bullshit!
During the 1970s, Bryant led a national campaign, "Save Our Children", which conflated homosexuality and child molestation and insisted that because homosexuals cannot reproduce they must "recruit" or "convert" people to their lifestyle.[197] California State Senator John V. Briggs applauded Bryant's work as a "national, religious crusade [and] courageous stand to protect American children from blatant homosexuality".
Some are probably unbelievably bullshit!Some probably would be pretty confused that they are being included as a Gay Icon despite them not being gay, nor showing any particular position towards actual gays!Some of them aren't even really gay icons at all!
However, Neil Tennant has stated many times that his lyrics are not specifically gay. Many of their songs are written from an ambiguous viewpoint and many of their fans are heterosexual.[38][39][40]
But Neil Tennant is gay and Chris Lowe is probably gay for dicks and semen and stuff so who cares!

Not only that, it makes your boss a gay icon.
I sure hope so! That guy is alright. In fact, I would go so far as to say he is allllright.
That's what I should tell him on the day I quit
I can't imagine what his reaction would be
You're assuming it's his coworkers!
It might be customers. Which would make, not the boss, but the establishment itself the gay icon!
