Top 10 Lesbian-ish MenBack in February when I blogged about the new Justin Timberlake video, I noted that I had a secret boy-crush on him. I was shocked to discover that a whole bunch of you shared my JT crush, which got me to thinking: Which other male celebs garner lesbian-ish vibes? Here's my attempt to rank the top 10. I chose them based on a highly subjective array of qualifications, including (1) how dykey their hair is; (2) how soulful their gazes are; (3) how much they look like girls I've dated; and (4) whether I'd mistake them for lesbians in a dark alley. Let me know if I've missed anybody. Without further ado: 10. Jamie Bamber
The countdown begins with the pretty-faced actor behind Lee "Apollo" Adama on Battlestar Galactica, aka Starbuck's bottom. 'Nuff said. 9. Matt Damon Remember the Matt vs. Ben debate? How can you resist the soft-spoken Harvard dropout with the gently furrowed brow? 8. John Cusack
For every girl who wished her lady love would stand outside her window with a boom box playing Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes." OK, so the photo above involves a weapon and a science magazine. That's kinda hot, too. 7. Eric Mabius
This pretty boy proved himself playing Jenny's cuckolded boyfriend on The L Word, but on Ugly Betty, he's the adorable playboy who gets played by the sophisticated Salma Hayek. When he gets all sad, don't you just want to buy him a kitten or something? 6. Orlando Bloom
He's moody. He wears dykey watches. He has soulful eyes. And he has an accent. Can you get any better? He's so emo. 5. Keanu Reeves
He's a soft-spoken dude with a secret: Underneath that black trench coat, he has the heart of a lady. If you don't believe me, look into his eyes. 4. Brad Pitt
His beauty is so legendary, Angelina Jolie snapped it up — and you know she likes girls. 3. Johnny Depp
This tattooed bad boy is just sweet enough to cross over to our side of the field. Plus, his lips are like pillows. 2. Justin Timberlake
"Cry Me a River" and "What Goes Around" proved that JT is just a sensitive pussycat underneath that smoldering stare. 1. Jake Gyllenhaal
The blue eyes. The artfully messed-up hair. That pout. Damn, I think I once dated a chick who looked just like him. Jake totally wins. Submitted by on April 4, 2007 - 11:25am. |

Okay, so this one may not
Okay, so this one may not kinda have the exact qualifications, but there's one guy I absolutely adore and that is David Boreanaz. He's just so adorable, and hilariously funny at times.
But yes I do agree with some of the men on the list. I absolutely can not see 10-7, but the others, even I can see those. and Jake on that picture... Eyes! Damn
Because Visibility Matters - The AfterEllen.com Fanlisting - http://aefan.alrightstill.net
YES to David Boreanaz!!
YES to David Boreanaz!! Also YES to David Boreanaz making out with Sarah Michelle Gellar. It's like a bisexual party in my brain.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party...
I third David Boreanaz
Fourth. I want him to make
hehehe
Everyone wants Booth to make out with Bones (the growing group of Angela/Brennan fans excluded). It's been a "when are they gonna make out already?" question ever since the beginning.

fifth
He's Number 30 on AfterElton's list
and the picture would make anyone drool.
Peace, Joy and Love
*B*
God that's a creepy picture
God that's a creepy picture of Jake.
Totally agree with the Jamie Bamber, John Cusack (High Fidelity and Grosse Pointe Blank are two of my favorite movies) and Justin Timberlake.
I'd have to have David Duchovny on my list as well. X-Files, that's all I'm saying.
Joe Flanigan of Stargate Atlantis.
Ron Livingston - Office Space, anyone?
Wentworth Miller - Prison Break, mmmm. He's peeeeeerdy. But not as pretty as Sarah Wayne Callies
Michael Ealy - Darwyn from Sleeper Cell. Pretty eyes.
wentworth!
I totally agree..I started watching that during my questioning phase and I was like oh shit..he's a hottie haha.
Let's get one thing straight, I'm not.
Keanu?
Most of these I get. but Keanu Reeves? Really? I have such an aversion to him I think I threw up a little in my mouth. I love Sandra Bullock, but because of Keanu Reeves I still haven't seen Speed. I think it goes without saying I haven't seen Lakehouse. (or Lakeside or whatever that movie is called.)
The Ben or Matt debate? There is no debate. I still think Matt is dreamy. Of course Johnny Depp is fantastic. And I love Brad Pitt. Lesbians aren't the only ones, I know a lot of straight guys who have man-crushes on him, too. Including Stephen Colbert. (remember the threatdown when Brad Pitt/Fight Club was the #2 threat to his heterosexuality. #1 was, of course, bears.)
But where is Ewan McGregor? When I came out to a good friend of mine from high school, her response was, "But what about Ewan?" I told her not to worry, his beauty transcends all boundaries of gender and sexuality.
"But where is Ewan
"But where is Ewan McGregor? When I came out to a good friend of mine from high school, her response was, 'But what about Ewan?' I told her not to worry, his beauty transcends all boundaries of gender and sexuality."
Haha, this is just so funny, when I came out to my mom, she asked the same thing about Johnny Depp! He's the only man I'd ever be with... oh, he could turn me straight any day! *.*
Keanu is my top pick
oh, sweet homeboy
Oh duh
Keanu
I am so glad you included him. As a teenager, when I was struggling with the "am I gay; am I not gay" saga one of my mental stumps was Keanu. I thought "how can I love him in Point Break, Speed, and Parenthood so much and still be gay." I always justified it with the whole wanting to "be" him, not nec. "with" him; And of course the lovely ladies in each of those flicks. But that picture confirms it for me, he's just so darn pretty and completely emo. He is totally one of my straight crushes.
And because I was a teenager with Angela Chase I'd have to add Jared Leto to this list. Hmmm. Maybe Jason Priestly and Luke Perry as well. OH! And Ralph Machio.
jared! of course!
he is totally lesbian-ish.. those eyes!
jared leto
yes please, he kinda looks like jake gyllenhaal...but still not sexually attracted to them :P
Love it!
Very clever. I never thought about how much some of my exes resemble a few of the guys on this list. Very interesting.
I agree...
heath ledger
love it!
(1) how dykey their hair is; (2) how soulful their gazes are; (3) how much they look like girls I've dated; and (4) whether I'd mistake them for lesbians in a dark alley
^Love it!
There are definitely some on there that I agree with! Not so much feeling Keanu, Jamie, Matt, or even JT - but I'm with you on the others :-)
Eric Mabius on Ugly Betty: Yes! Eric Mabius on LWord: Noooo! hahaha, poor Tim - so unlikeable....
I don't know if any ladies will back me up on this, but my #1 boy crush is....Bono!

Nah...
Heh. So true.
How are Leonardo DiCaprio
How are Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire not on the list? One of the reasons my best friend is my best friend is because she says things like “if I were a lesbian, I’d fuck Tobey Maguire.” Oh, and Orlando needs to be number one. It took me till the third movie to figure out that that pretty elf was a boy.
Paul Rudd
Ever since The Object of My Affection and his turn as Orsino in Twelfth Night, I've had a mad crush on Paul Rudd. I think it's the eyes.
rrow hot and . . . Jared Leto?
Heh. Great idea for a post.
Heh. Great idea for a post. I definitely think it's right that Jake is number 1 (I'm always amazed by the sheer number of lesbians who seem to fancy him). JT doesn't do a lot for me since he shaved off his hair and grew that manky stubble (as well as just becoming a bit skeezy, somehow), but I'm willing to defer to those who like him.
A couple of extra suggestions: Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert? They're not exactly prettyboys, but I think a lot of lesbians do love them... if only for the constant queerness on both their shows. Colbert has a really interesting, mixed feminine/masculine vibe, that I think makes him appealing to queers of both genders.
I'm sure I'm going to think of a million guys who should be on this list... there definitely is a type of guy who somehow screams 'lesbian'... but in the meantime, yes to Ralph Macchio. How about James Dean? Rob Lowe when he was in 'The Outsiders'? In fact, the whole male cast of 'The Outsiders' looks like a bunch of wannabe dykes. Check here for a picture:
http://www.theoutsidersbookandmovie.com/files/the_outsiders_rare_orig_pi...
And Benjamin McKenzie as Ryan in 'The O.C.'? When he's got his wifebeater on and the floppy hair and the soulful eyes, there's always been something about him that screams 'lesbian' to me... hee hee.
I think the phenomenon of gay men worshipping 'fabulous' female divas is well-documented, but the fact of there being a particular type of man that appeals to lesbians hasn't really been recognised.
Yes to Stephen Colbert!
Ooh... yeah, feline is a
Ooh... yeah, feline is a good word.
I still can't get over how much like a girl Jake G looks in that picture... a girl with very muscly arms, admittedly.
stephen colbert
where`s mark?
yes
can't buy me love

I second that
With that accent and those eyes.
2 more
I vote for Jude Law, and Edward Norton.
And from the list i totally agree with Matt Damon, and Keanu Reeves.
Edward Norton, definitely. I
Edward Norton, definitely. I can see the attraction with Jude Law but he always strikes me as a bit too smug.
Yes.
Ewan, Jake, David Duchovny. Mmm.
Props to browne for the gay man/diva comparison!
Sexy Ugly
I'll TOTALLY give you Jake, Jude, and Brad, but let's look at someone without traditional hotness: Martin Freeman. Wait! Bare with me. You gotta luv the accent. He was brilliant, funny, and sensitive in the UK "The Office" and he's unassumingly versatile. Grrrrrrrrr.
Pass.
Pass.
Have to agree with Riven2310 here. If those men are Lesbianish, I don't know if I would want to identify as a Lesbian. And about half of the list would be those I would classify as "icky." I hope this does not mean that in the future, another post will be made saying that lesbians love Justin Timberlake, just like because in the past 8 people on the site posted how much they love him.
And, sorry, could we just say, "Here are some attractive men" other than say they are lesbianish? Just because women are stereotyped as the sensitive ones does not mean that we must label men who seem sensitive as "lesbianish."
I prefer his sister...
I agree with Jake, but his sister is my main weakness! Love me some Maggie...
mmmm...
As do I...
Me too!
MUSE
Two words:
Matt Bellamy.
Singer, pianist, guitarist and genius front man of the British band Muse. When I saw them this summer, it was the first time in my life I thought "wow...he's sexy." Good thing is, my girlfriend agrees :D
YES!!! YES!!!
matt bellamy of course!! he is a god (dess?)!!
i love his music and i love him! and yes he is hot, the sex-face he makes when he's singing.. and then it hits you.. "oh yeah, that's right, he's a dude!"
It could be just the hair..
Overall, your choices of
Overall, your choices of Lesbian-ish Guys just didn't really connect with me. Off course, Orlando and Brad were definitely good choices. Brad Pitt DOES transcend all sexual preferences...
Overall though, there were a lot you could have put in, like:
Paul Bettany-mmm, delicous. He was my first boy-crush. Plus, he's married to Jennifer Connelly, need i say more?
Jared Leto-Somebody said this too. This guy is so girly, that it's kinda hot. He was really good in Lord of War too.
Jonathon Rhys-Meyers-...What a pretty boy. Cute Accent. Cute looks.
Mark Wahlberg- but only when he's not super muscly. He was hot in Boogie Nights, when he acted like he was gay.
But yeah overall, I really don't dig manly guys. Something about all that muscle just turns me off. Never would i ever be attracted to The Rock, Vin Diesel, Mark Wahlberg in Invincable, etc
