Minnie Driver Not Yet A Gay Icon, Says Gay Council

Actress Minnie Driver Not Yet A Gay Icon Confirms International Gay Council At Annual Summit

The International Gay Council has confirmed that actress Minnie Driver is not
yet a gay icon, ending months of speculation.

"After consideration, the Council believes the time is not yet right for Minnie
Driver to assume the mantle of Gay Icon," said Secretary General Felix Lane,
"but I stress that the situation is under constant review."

The decision has surprised some industry insiders: "I thought she would get it
this year," said one.

Gay Council: 'Driver is not ready.'

The summit was dominated by the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan and the
Council passed a new resolution pledging to deploy a multinational force
of gays to the war-torn country "as soon as is practically possible." The
news was greeted positively by the Afghan representative, who has long
called for more gays to be sent to the country, where there is a desperate
shortage.

The High Commission For Gay Fashion also reaffirmed it's long-standing
policy on tight, white t-shirts worn with turned up jeans: "This look is still
very much in and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future," said the
Secretary General.
