[Lucille Ball's I Love Lucy character] Lucy Ricardo was the true gay icon, as [she] was the underdog who was always trying to prove herself, and I think many gay men can identify with that. Ricardo was the perfect gay icon for the post-Stonewall generation. She wasn't a tragic victim like Judy Garland.
