Judy Garland, Madonna, Dolly Parton, Diana Ross, Yoko Ono and Tina Turner- gay men love their divas. Today we’re talking to campy singer Melissa Young about her new show “Out: A Rainbow Icon Celebration.”

Melissa takes a look at the gay rights movement as seen through the lens of the entertainers we all love. Can guys like George Michael and Elton John be divas? We certainly think so!

Listen as Melissa sings in our home studio songs from her show and takes questions from you- through our Facebook page. Did Judy Garland’s death really spark the modern gay rights movement? Why is Madonna so different from all the other divas?

Does the ubiquitous rainbow flag have origins in Perú? And what about those who propose a redesign of the gay pride flag. Check out their designs here.
