Sexiest gay guys

That takes some balls considering how divisive a character she was.

Ian came out in 1988, risking his career and reputation, to actively protest the Section 28 Bill, a law which banned the “promotion” of homosexuality in a positive light.

Today, he is the most famous grandfather of the gay community, having survived the days when being gay was illegal and the AIDS epidemic.

His bromance with Patrick Stewart is also a testimony to how straight guys and gay guys can be besties.

The first of these featured Hall singing his order at a McDonald's drive-thru window and generated considerable viewership; by 2012, he had graduated to full-blown musical tributes, including "Beauty and the Beat," which refashioned the Disney musical as an urban fantasy, and a promotional short for Virgin Airlines which detailed its pre-flight safety briefing as an R&B music video.

At the time, Elliot received worldwide praise for his speech, where he spoke about how he was tired of hiding who he was. She spoke out about how the relationship wasn’t for her.

She met her wife Ellen DeGeneres in 2004 at an awards show, and the pair have become one of Hollywood’s (scratch that, one of the worlds) most famous couples.

Portia has used her platform to speak about issues she herself has struggled with, such as anorexia.

She has also gotten involved with numerous charitable organizations, including Locks of Love, which provides human hair wigs to children suffering from alopecia.

He’s also featured in an Equality Network video campaign, which rallied support for gay marriage in Scotland. He told the Guardian: “I loathe heterosexual weddings. This is the definitive list where fans have been given the power to influence the ranking, placing their favorite celebs where they best see fit.

Lining the celestial carpet this year are some familiar faces who've demonstrated their undeniable allure.

Even before she came out as queer. Quite the resume. 

Some people did a double take when Rupert came out against the introduction of gay marriage. While some prefer to maintain their privacy – not out of fear but out of “God, the paparazzi are getting on my nerves about this!” – others proudly announce engagements, display breakups for all the world to see, and post their vacation snaps featuring their beloved partners – and sometimes kids too!

We still aren't where we need to be when it comes to equal treatment and opportunity for a lot of folks in Show Business but with the list of openly famous gay stars growing each year and the support for them following suit, it's only a matter of time before the score evens out.

When the exposure afforded by the series failed to generate any stardom, Hall returned to Texas, where he began writing and directing in offbeat musical videos for YouTube. Billy Porter

It’s crazy to imagine a world without Billy Porter. But Portia wasn’t always planning on coming out as gay. Add on the fact that Rosie is an outspoken LGBTQ rights activist – and she’s solidified herself as the arch nemesis of all US Republicans. 

Rosie became famous by hosting her own talk show.

At the time of coming-out, Elliot was recovering from top surgery, which he described as a “life-saving” procedure.

Best known for his work in Juno, Whip It, Inception, and Tales of the City, Elliot had originally come out as a lesbian in 2014, whilst they presented as female.

In an interview with the Independent, he insists that Colin Firth robbed him of the lead role in A Single Man but said that the question is more “Why can’t gay actors play straight roles?… We shouldn’t be making rules about this”.

18. Cutting through the noise of heartfelt dedications from world leaders, politicians, and entertainers, he made sure people remembered all of Thatcher’s awful discriminatory policies that had been implemented during her time in government.

He's also starred in major dramatic plays like “Hamlet” and “The Crucible”. Olly Alexander

Olly Alexander is a man of many talents as well as many troubles in his younger days. Jodie Foster

Jodie burst onto the Hollywood scene as a child star, appearing in mega-hit films like Bugsy Malone, Freaky Friday, and, of course, Taxi Driver.

Ben Whishaw

Ben is a cutie! She also encouraged writers of the 2021 And Just Like That, to explore Miranda’s queerness in the Sex and the City reboot.

6. But he certainly isn't willing to hide the facts either!

Although he's currently single, many posts on Luke's Instagram feature his former boyfriend, director Rafa Olarra.

He appeared in the 2021 British BBC TV series, “It's a Sin”, which covers the times leading up to the devastating AIDS epidemic.
