Gay Iconography: Melissa Etheridge, Yes She Is<\/b><\/p>\n

Even today, there are few stars ready to come out at the height of their career. In the early ‘90s, it was even more of a rarity. That’s part of what makes Melissa Etheridge’s story special.<\/p>\n

The singer-songwriter and activist blazed a trail as an openly lesbian<\/a> artist, just as her career began taking off. “I had no desire to be closeted to the public. It didn’t feel right,” she told Philly Magazine<\/em><\/a> in 2014. “So, being gay<\/a> was the thing I talked about.”<\/p>\n

GLAAD recognized her contribution to promoting equal rights for gay<\/a>, lesbian<\/a>, bisexual<\/a> and transgender individuals in culture by presenting Stephen F. Kolzak Award to her in 2006. She’s not only a vocal activist for LGBT rights, but also the environment and the fight against cancer.<\/p>\n

She explained her connection to these causes in an interview with The Daily Beast<\/em><\/a> last year: “Well these are, and it’s always been, the issues that are me. I am a gay<\/a> person. I did have cancer. I am affected by what happens to the world, to our earth. Those things absolutely affect me.”<\/p>\n

Check out some of our favorite moments from Melissa’s career, AFTER THE JUMP<\/a> …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Come To My Window,” off Etheridge’s 1993 album Yes I Am<\/em> became her first big, mainstream hit. The bluesy rock song earned her a Grammy for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female. The second single from the album, “I’m the Only One<\/a>” would be her only song to crack the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 8.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Etheridge has featured a few leading ladies<\/a> in her music videos<\/a>. First, there was Juliette Lewis having a breakdown in “Come to My Window.” Then, there was Gwyneth Paltrow in “I Want To Come Over,” off Etheridge’s 1995 album, Your Little Secret<\/em>, above. In 2001, you could see Jennifer Aniston in her video<\/a> for “I Want To Be In Love<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As an openly lesbian<\/a> superstar, Etheridge appeared in the momentous 1997 episode of Ellen<\/em>, “The Puppy Episode,” in which Ellen DeGeneres<\/a>’ character came out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of Etheridge’s most memorable performances occurred at the 2005 Grammy Awards. After battling breast cancer, she joined singer Joss Stone in a tribute to Janis Joplin still bald from chemotherapy. The sight of her tearing through a powerful performance of “Piece of My Heart” inspired India.Arie to pen a verse of her song “I Am Not My Hair<\/a>” about it, including the lyrics: “Breast cancer and chemotherapy\/Took away her crownin’ glory\/She promised God if she was to survive\/She would enjoy every day of her life, oh\/On national television\/Her diamond eyes are sparkling\/Bald-headed like a full moon shining\/Singing out to the whole wide world like, hey.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2006, Etheridge won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, thanks to her track “I Need To Wake Up<\/a>” from Al Gore’s environmental documentary An Inconvenient Truth<\/em>. See her accept her award from Queen Latifah<\/a> and John Travolta at the Ellen-hosted Oscars in the clip above.<\/p>\n
