In the car world, there are all kinds of stereotypes about what kinds of cars different people drive, or even what your car color says about you. If you have an orange car, you might have a creative and artistic personality.

A radio show asked its queer listeners what they thought were the best and most popular cars owned by the LGBTQ+ community, as reported by

Jezebel

. Here are five of the top LGBT cars based on the results of the non-scientific poll.

Subaru is one of the most popular car brands among queer people, and that’s no accident.

The Subaru Outback

Ranking high on the list is the all-wheel drive Subaru Outback. While late model Outbacks are pretty posh, with different trim levels boasting media packages and Nappa leather, the humble beginnings of the Outback are what made it so popular.

Much of Subaru's popularity within the queer community is due to their progressive ad campaigns from the 1990s. After finding that the size and capability of the Outback appealed to lesbian women, Subaru decided to market toward the queer community.

In their commercials, they used suggestive taglines for their brand like, “It's Not a Choice. It's the Way We're Built.” They also had duos of the same gender act in scenes together, using body language to subtly hint that they could be together. Though nothing was said outright, they were quite progressive for the ‘90s and caused a bump in Subaru’s popularity in LGBTQ+ circles.
