Gay Twitter Honors the Obscure and Iconic Women Who 'Saved' Their Lives

We love a Twitter trend that just gets it: Gay icons are always out there. Celebrating the women who shaped our lives is something so important.

Who would we be without Christine Baranski's "Mamma Mia" character? Where would we be without that video of Fergie doing front-flips while performing on daytime television? Exactly! It's time we honor these icons. And that's what everyone's been doing on Twitter.

These are some of our favorite "Gay people are like 'she saved my life' and it's just___" tweets:
