Is Jayne Mansfield loved by gay men?

A Hollywood celebrity of the mid-20th century, Mansfield is often regarded as a less talented version of fellow bombshell Marilyn Monroe. Mansfield was famous for her bleached-blonde hair and ample bosom, which she displayed in several Playboy magazine photo shoots. She had roles in two dozen films in the 1950s and 1960s. She was killed in a violent late-night car crash in 1967.
Extra credit: Mansfield is the mother of actress Mariska Hargitay, who appears as Detective Olivia Benson on TV's Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.
Mansfield appears with James Dean, Lisa Lopes and Princess Diana in the Who2 Loop Death by Car.
It's unpredictable if and why she'd be loved by gay men any more than any other female and/or celebrity.

I would imagine her very campy, self-referential movie roles, combined with her similarities to Marilyn would give her Gay appeal. She didn't have Marilyn's fragility, but she was noticeably sexually flamboyant in an otherwise pretty conservative time period, and she event met her own tragically premature demise (which often seems to increase a celebrity's gay icon stock).

We went to a Cher concert and the entire Gay community was there, many dressed in drag. I think that's why they made her Jack's idol on Will and Grace. I would say it's Cher.
