If life had its own GPS system, navigating it would be a far less stressful slog. Alas, we suffer this pothole-filled dirt road alone… guideless. Thankfully, there’s one thing more knowledgeable and dependable than a GPS, and that’s a Gay Icon!

From RuPaul to Rihanna, David Bowie to Betty White, no one understands the highs and lows, loves and losses quite like a Gay Icon. Featuring inspiring quotes and heartwarming illustrations of the people who spoke them, you’ll find these musings priceless and relatable. Even if they’re coming from Oscar-winners, TV legends, and fashion royalty.

MORE THAN 70 ICONS are featured in this all-star collection of quotes and illustrations, including Bettie White, Ariana Grande, Cher, Madonna, and Little Nas X.
