Meryl Streep surprised to be a gay icon

Meryl Streep was shocked to discover she’s a gay incon.

The Oscar winning star says she is delighted at the fans she has won amongst the homosexual community thanks in part to her role as Margaret Thatcher in the new biopic of the former British Prime Minister.

“I just recently found out I’m a gay icon from a show where they do little arias from all my movies,” she said.

“It’s flattering of course. Whether or not Margaret is also a gay icon I don’t know. That’s a difficult one for me.”
