When people think about the late Princess of Wales, they often contemplate thetragic things about Princess Diana.
But Diana was more than the bad things that happened to her.
She was multidimensional, which gets lost in the public’s eyes when you marry into royalty.
Of note is her support of the LGBTQ+ community for whom she showed public support many times.
She was a free spirit and aligned herself with like-minded individuals.
They didn’t even get caught!
But just what is it about her that’s made her the queer icon she is today?
“She really felt at ease with gay men.
She could relate to them and she didn’t feel threatened by them in any way.
They were just friends she could hang out with,” said Jeremy Norman, owner of the gym.
Moreover, Diana was a leading public figure in the ’80s and ’90s for supporting HIV/AIDS patients.
To prove that there was nothing wrong with or gross about patients of the disease.
On an even smaller yet grander level, the LGBTQ+ community related to Diana because she was an outcast.
Without joy, the bleakness of life becomes too overbearing.
Surely, if Diana could find happiness, LGBTQ+ people can too, right?
