Think about some of the attributes of Joan Rivers and think about why gay people might like that.

On top of that, the show where she & her daughter and others sat around and made fun of what celebrities were wearing must have given her some insane gay street cred.

Yeah - a gold standard for a bitchy queen. :D

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

My wife constantly had that show on and Joan's one-liners made it fairly tolerable.

I can't say I was a fan of Rivers, but you have to give her mad props for not just continuing to work, but continuing to work HARD right up into her 80s.  Heck, while I remember her as the perpetual guest host of the Tonight Show, she's probably at her most popular period now.
