‘Out’ Magazine Picks Its ‘Out 100’ Class Of 2009
Honor Roll
Out magazine is ready to release it’s annual Out 100 issue wherein they select the year’s “most interesting, influential and newsworthy LGBT people”. The full list has not yet been made available but the cover shows which LGBT stars have made the list honor roll … Adam Lambert, Wanda Sykes, Cyndi Lauper, Lt. Dan Choi and Rob Marshall:
Of these folks, I know the least about Rob Marshall … but I can absolutely understand why Glambert, Wanda, Cyndi and Lt. Choi made the cut as the top LGBT stars of the year. I’m very curious to see who else made the cut this year … besides the obvious names listed on the cover, do any of y’all have any guesses?

Hold the bus…….is Cyndi Lauper gay? I thought she was married to a man! Or am I reading this wrong?
I was thinking the same thing. I’m not sure. I know she’s very gay friendly, so that could be why she’s on the cover. I guess I have some googling to do.
I kinda am surprised about Cindy Lauper too! Maybe she’s bisexual.
I looked it up, and she’s married to a man. I think it’s more of a statement about her activism. Makes sense.
Oh, and I can’t even think of any other LGBT stars other than Lance Bass, but he hasn’t really done anything noteworthy this year. I hope the guy who plays Kurt on Glee gets a mention or even the show as a whole. They handle the storyline beautifully. Not the usual stereotype or “gay for a day” type plots that other shows tend to do.

I loves me some Cyndi!!! She had some influence on me, when I was a kid…. Yep.. I think she’s the reason I like to dye my hair 3 shades of red, orange and yellow. Hehe :-P
She’s gorgeous!
@kristy – if you look closely NPH is mentioned on the cover. What about… Trent and/or David!?
Cyndi has been working with the Mathew Shepard Fund and HRC for years and helped establish the True Colors Fund and Org. to help fight for equal rights, etc. She’s always been vocal about everyone having an equal chance to be heard, no matter what their background- In Ms. Lauper’s words, “God loves all flowers, even the wild ones that grow in the cracks in the sidewalk.”
If Rob Marshall is the director (Chicago, Nine) then it also is for activism.
Kathy Griffin better be on that list!!
Ellen maybe GaGa , Tom Ford, Cynthia Nixon, Marc Jacobs, Rupert Everett, RuPaul better be on there somewhere.
I know Marc Jacobs does a lot, but I can’t get past the “Bros Before Hos” tat he’s got, considering it’s us Ho’s that bought his bags, and clothing that made the famous. I know why he’s got it, but considering the amount of money I used to spend on his handbags a little appreciation would have been nice.
Cyndi’s sister is a lesbian. She has made several PSA’s on LOGO
