I think most people understand that "gay icon" is a blanket term that encompasses all factions of the LGBTQIA community, but if anyone is really concerned about potential confusion then a disambiguation can be noted in each respective articles' lead. --- 190: 465: 515: 836:
I dont see anywhere referencing madonna's tolerance of the LGBT community in her artwork. Songs like "Deeper and Deeper" and "In This Life" that talk about homosexual tolerance.

I think the article has a lot of subjective wording that should be changed and/or removed. For example, although the claim that the Madonna is a gay icon is backed up by some evidence, the way the articles present it as fact is blatant

It also does not talk about her close relationship with lesbian Rosie O'Donnell. It does not say anywhere about her dating Jenny Shimizu, it says no where about her widely publicized sexual relationship with Sandra Bernhard.
