Here are highlights from an article on Slate Magazine http://www.slate.com/id/2170989/?GT1=10238:By the time Tammy Faye Messner died Friday, the outspoken, fake-eyelash-donning 65-year-old had gone from Christian televangelist to reviled woman to gay icon. How did Messner become a gay icon? With fabulousness and honesty.
And gays appreciated the fact that she had long refused to denounce homosexuals on the Bakkers' TV show and that she had urged sympathy for those with AIDS. In her final interview last week, she said, "When we lost everything, it was the gay people that came to my rescue, and I will always love them for that."

She also was friends with Ron Jeremy, but was cluless to his profession.
