Though much (Ok, basically all) of the supposed "lesbian affair" between Emily Blunt and Mary Lynn Rajskub was cut out of Sunshine Cleaning, Blunt is still striving to be a gay icon.

In a recent interview, the 26-year-old English actress said:

I'm going to become a gay icon. Have I ever flirted with that side? No, never, but I do remember girl crushes on other girls in your year group at school. There are these girls who are magnetic and beautiful and so cool. You just feel yourself shrink in their presence. Uh, yeah, that's called a straight-up crush, Emily. Regardless, she seems to be well on her way to gay icon status, if you ask me. Just look how close she gets with her co-stars.

Remember her steamy Sapphic role in 2004's My Summer of Love? That's most likely what put her on most of our radars to begin with.
