Lesbilicious - the web’s tastiest lesbian magazine

Singer Will Young has been voted the best British role model in pop for young lesbian, gay and bisexual people.

The 31-year-old stormed Stonewall’s poll of 1,003 of its supporters, winning over half the vote.

Alison Goldfrapp came second, followed by Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke, recently out X Factor winner Joe McElderry and Lady Sovereign.

“Young people involved with Stonewall tell us that role models help them overcome the homophobic bullying that’s rife in Britain’s schools,” said Stonewall’s chief executive Ben Summerskill.

“Pop culture is hugely influential to young people so it’s encouraging to see more openly lesbian, gay and bisexual British pop stars.

“Joe McElderry is already recognised as a role model so the scene is now set for him to become every bit as popular with young gay people as Will Young.”
