In recognition of LGBT History Month (originating in the USA in the 1990s), here's a list of this year's chosen icons with touchstones, for those the LibraryThing system could find.
Reminder: Clicking the links for touchstone bring up author pages.
Susan B. Anthony • W. H. Auden • Frank Bruni • Frédéric Chopin • David Cicilline • Mart Crowley • Ashley Diamond • Alice Dunbar-Nelson • Carlos Elizondo • Althea Garrison • R.C. Gorman • LZ Granderson • Bob Hattoy • Jerry Herman • Janis Ian • Karine Jean-Pierre • Janis Joplin • Liberace • Claude McKay • Stacey Milbern • Shannon Minter • Janelle Monáe • Javier Morgado • Henry Muñoz III • Johnnie Phelps • Little Richard • Swe Zin Htet • Mark Takano • Ritchie Torres • Mary Trump • Darren Walker
A few of the people on the list surprised me, which I suppose is the big reason why the list each year is important. Celebrities for a long time were made to look straighter in mainstream media than they were or are in actuality.

I was trying to cheer myself up about not having access to multiple books on my to-read list that are about queer history by looking up when the more popular of the historical figures in the book are celebrated. That ended up with a reminder that we are currently in LGBT History Month!
