Who are the most popular gays on Twitter?
I was feeling pretty good about my just over 1,200 Twitter followers until I saw this list of the most popular gays on Twitter compiled by The Advocate!
I can understand why more than 5 million people follow Ellen DeGeneres and glad to see that 1.6 million follow Rachel Maddow. These are awesome women! And the guys in the top 15, a lot of them I follow too: Ricky Martin, Adam Lambert, Neil Patrick Harris and Chris Colfer.
But Samantha Ronson has more than 1.5 million Twitter followers? I can see how interest was way up when she and ex-girlfriend Lindsay Lohan were fighting all the time but the number really surprises me. Lindsay herself has just over 1 million.
Love that Michael Ausiello, a hard-working TV writer for Entertainment Weekly who always has great scoops about our favorite shows, made the top 10 with 1.1 million followers.
Here is the complete list in order:
2. Perez Hilton (blogger) 2,378,242
3. Stephen Fry (actor) 1,746,386
4. Rachel Maddow (tv host) 1,679,131
5. Samantha Ronson (DJ) 1,564,457
7. Michael Ausiello (Entertainment Weekly writer) 1,123,498
8. Lindsay Lohan 1,091,073
9. Suze Orman (personal finance expert) 1,0690,245
11: Adam Lambert 635,930
12. Alan Carr (comedian) 563,293
13. Michael Buckley 527,314
14. Karl Lagerfeld 308,960
15. Chris Colfer 282,970

So pleased that the public may get that it is just about the music as it has been just over a year+ since Adam Lambert become a star and he is currently in the 11th spot within a list of well established stars. Well not sure about placing a star title to the name of Samantha Ronson as I do agrees that this may be about the association to Lindsay Lohan.
