Reader Catherine gives us the heads up about a Stereogum shoutout in lesbian mag Curve. Transcribed by Beacon Street Online:

Why Gwen Is A Lesbian Icon
If you have to ask why Gwen Stefani is our cover girl, we’d like to officially check your lesbian credentials. When we decided Gwen Stefani ws going to grace the cover of Curve, we couldn’t be happier. But why? After all, she’s not gay. But what every dyke who came to age in the 90′s knows is that Stefani, with her ska skater-boy clothes and her aggro girl polemics – has been one of the few mainstream musicians young lesbians can cling to. Stefani’s name elicits a lot of lesbian love, even on primarily straight fan sites like Sterogum.com [sic], where a debate over the merits of the first single off Stefani’s solo CD was drowned out by “I love yous” from her queer girl fans.

“I think im her biggest lesbian fan,” Laura gushes on the site. “Her voice and her beauty will take her anywhere she wants to go. Damn, she is one sexy woman!”

Can’t argue with that.

    First comment!!

    Not lesbian, but I’ll agree…..she is sexy. What I wouldn’t give to have her abs. Not really jealous of her voice and sometimes weird lyrics though.

    Actually, I vote she is grody.

    I want to marry her

  4. Haha! They think stereogum is a Gwen Stefani fansite! What is their research department? A cat sleeping on a keyboard?

    I’ve always thought that stereogum resembled strongly a “straight” gwen stefani fan site. I’m glad that lesbian journalists agree.

    If God had given her half the voice and twice the brains she’d be in good shape.

    What? She’s sold how many millions of CDs?

    OK, I take that back. God should’ve given the rest of the world twice the brains.

    First off I’m a Lesbian. Second of all Gwen is cute but I honestly think Curve Magazine (which is something I would never be caught dead reading) got it all wrong She’s like the New “madonna/debbie Harry” for young gay culture and by that I mean “Fags”. Personally I thinks Venus and Bust got it all right by putting Sleater Kinney on the cover. They Suck

  8. Jeez, they could’ve at least spelled the name of the site correctly!

    Sterogum… sounds like an imported candy from Denmark.

  9. I think this proves that you couldn’t soak up spilled water with a rag like Curve Magazine… Gwen Stefani as a “lesbian icon”??? Ick!!!!

  10. Come join Scientology. We love lesbians and Gwen Stefani. Actually I’m going to meet with her to try to brainwash, er convince her to join Scientology.

    Also I just read my comment and the last part sounded stupid. I mean “Curve” sucks not Sleater Kinney or Bust.

    someone needs to put gwen stefani out of her misery already. she looks like a fucking cow (not weight wise, facial feature wise) her wailing makes my skin crawl.
    -straight girl

    i think that Gwen is hot.. and she has a lot going for her.. as much as her being a lesbian magnet .. that may be true.. (by the way i am not a lesbian)… but other ppl are also attracted to her.. you have to think of the whole population .. NOT Just the lesbian portion.. and in a way i think that is wrong to put lesbians out on a limb like that

  15. First of all Gwen is NOT a lezbot cause she’s married to Gavin Rossdale and sure she may kinda act like Madonna (that what my mum says) but she is original and probably 10 times better then that Madonna. And hell i dont blame lesbians for thinking gwen is sexy cause she sure as hell is.

    ha ha ha ha. gwen stanfani is not hot, shes not ugly, but shes far from sexy. of course i dont know gwen personally, but i know what she wants me to know and judging by that shes a stuck up b??ch. like the last comment…she acts pre madonna, because she is! and i find it fricking hilarious that she has lesbiens coo-ing over her. so all u who watch her videos and by her posters, because u think shes some sort of sex symbol u may wanna get a reality check.

    I am 100% lesbian and I am one of those LEZBOS who think Gwen is super fucking awlsome in her looks and with her career. She could run circles around Madanna and still be able to stand up straight!!!!!!!! If she is a stuck up Bitch,then more power to her because I am too!!!!!!!!!

  21. Mario  |   Posted on Aug 24th, 2006

    Of course she’s a hidden lesbian!!!

    Check out her video “I know we’re cool”. It’s so obvious!!!

  22. Doctor Who takes three prizes at the National Television Awards in a repeat of its success last year…

  23. i’m not a lesbian but she is sexy and she does have style can’t guys like her as well not just girls she facinates me with her weird lyrics and i love her harajuku girls i would like to meet her

  24. i’m so pleased she’s had her baby it;s just what she’s always wanted god bless her.

  25. she is so much better than madonna. she is not controversial look at her she has had two sucessful albums. as for madonna if she wants to boost her record sales she always does something stupid she can be such an idiot sometimes she may be the most successful female singer in the world but one day her time will be over. she will soon run out of ideas her music is so crap now theese days she’s very lucky because people will buy her records because she is madonna. deep down inside there not really enjoying her music. Gwen you rock keep doing your thing girl you are a style icon your beautiful and you have good music madonna fuck off and go and improve your music.by the way gwen stefani is not trying to copy you she has her own style thankyou very much push off madonna ur getting old and you are no beauty you never have been. gwen keep doing your thing!!!
