can someone tell me why gay men can laud straight women as gay icons for years and like, it’s cool but if a lesbian jokes that a man is a lesbian icon suddenly it’s an affront to all queer theory everywhere

Forrest J. Ackerman is legit one of the most overlooked people in pop culture history by the general masses, despite the fact invented the term sci-fi, created one of the world’s first cosplays, and organized one of America’s first fan conventions. He was also named an honorary lesbian by the Daughters of Bilitis, the first American lesbian civil/political rights society, because of his contributions to lesbian SF under the pseudonym Laurajean Ermayne.
