Warhol was known for quite a few things. One was advancing the concept of photography as "art". Another was his ability to attract attention and use it to manipulate the media. Yet another thing he was known for was being openly gay and exposing the gay community to a sheltered mainstream society. This photo seems to play right into all of these, using celebrity and photography to brashly show homosexuality.
