Gay men's hottest men, and the women they remind me of
Our brother site AfterElton.com has just released the first annual AfterElton.com Hot 100 List — which features the hottest men as chosen by thousands of gay and bisexual men — and the guy who topped the list? The same one who topped Malinda's list of top ten lesbian-ish men: Jake Gyllenhaal.
In fact, everyone on Malinda's list but John Cusack made AfterElton.com's list, which makes me wonder if maybe lesbians and gay men aren't that different after all. (Although, no John Cusack? That's a crime!) But I have to confess, I don't even know who some of the guys on their list are. Like Chris Evans (No. 2), who is apparently in the Fantastic Four movies, which I've never seen. I considered seeing them briefly, for Jessica Alba, but I prefer her with dark hair. A blonde Jessica Alba just doesn't work for me — I like my Alba a little edgier. Although she is bringing on the fierce here:
But back to hot men I don't know: No. 23 on their list is Channing Tatum. Um, any relation to Tatum O'Neal? Speaking of Tatum, it appears she has reconciled with former step-mother Farrah Fawcett, according to a new interview with Access Hollywood. Is it just me, or does doing a TV interview about how she's praying for Farrah (who has cancer) seem a little exploitive? And while Tatum looked good in Rescue Me, I really didn't like her character. Not that I really like any of the characters on that show anymore. Where was I? Oh yes: No. 95 Sufjan Stevens? No clue. I do like Cynthia Stevenson on Men in Trees, though. She makes a fun curmudgeonly cop.
Cynthia was great in Live Nude Girls, too, a fun, little-known 1995 film co-starring Kim Catrall, Dana Delany, and Olivia D'Abo as a lesbian. In a rather amusing scene, Cynthia's straight-laced character gets drunk and kisses Olivia by the pool. Clearly I'm not only not an expert on hot guys, I can't even stay focused on them long enough to write more than a sentence about them. But a lot of the non-lesbian/bi people who read our list didn't have a clue who Leisha Hailey was, so I don't feel too bad. Test your knowledge of the hot guys here, and let us know how you fare!

after elton's lot.
Well i knew of 71. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
I noticed that our namesake was on our list, but Elton wasnt on theirs. Not that im surprised, mind you. Does this mean lesbians age better than gay men??? :P
~I've been watching your world from afar, I've been trying to be where you are, I've been secretly falling apart...~
Sort of...
hahaha
on a whole I was really pleased with the variety of ethnicities and body types.
but, dude. seeing The Rock and Seth Green next to each other was pretty freakin' funny, in my opinion.
very diverse
94. Cillian Murphy
Cillian
Cillian was also in the Wes
wtf?
Jeez, we all still live on
AfterElton.com has plugged
AfterElton.com has plugged our Hot 100 List, several times. In fact, the AfterElton.com Hot 100 List prominently mentions and links to our list in their opening paragraphs, which means many of the straight women who are going to rush to check out their list will visit AfterEllen.com, too - and some just may decide they want to stay. :)
I understand your frustration with how gay men tend to ignore lesbians, and about how most co-ed LGBT publications and organizations make it all about gay men. I get tired of that myself. But Michael Jensen, the Editor in Chief of AfterElton.com, is not one of those guys - he is well aware of, and also frustrated by, the inequalities of how lesbians are treated, because he's a good guy, and because he works for me and has been listening to me rant about it for years :). His partner Brent (with whom he does a weekly video blog) has also written several young adult novels about a gay teenager with a fantastic bi Chinese American girl named Min who made our 13 Lesbian and Bi Characters You Should Know list. So perhaps not ALL gay men are evil. ;)
Logo is also not one of those types of organizations, as you can tell by its shows like Curl Girls and the upcoming lesbian series Exes and Ohs. But regardless, Logo has nothing to do with this blog post, or the topics we write about - they're all chosen by me and my staff.
Lastly, you'll notice I took a post about gay men and turned it into one that was really about women. That's my way of letting you know about the list - since this blog is about general pop culture news - but really making it all about us.
Sarah: While I understand
But it feels a bit weird to see the list of men in here. Funny thing, I just proved to myself once more how much of a lesbian I am... I'm not even interested on checking out the list, but I'll let know other friends and contribute with them!
lesbian without borders
Umm...

Dont know if its a good thing...

There were only 12 I didn't
hmm...wonder what a lesbian's list of hot men would look like :)
My reaction to the men's list is: wow! our aesthetics are obviously soooo different , apart from the obvious (...ugh, that we don't want to screw them!) many of their choices made me positively cringe, eg. Daniel Craig (eew...hate his body!), Eric Mabius (huh? he looks like white bread!), Andy Roddick (WTF)...
So I wondered what a lesbian list of hot men would look like. My top 10 would be:
1. Johnny Depp
2. James McAvoy (lots of buzz, young Scots actor who's going to be everywhere on your screens soon!)
3. Gael Garcia Bernal
4.Ryan Gosling
5. Clive Owen
6. ALan Rickman
7. Tony Leung (In the Mood for Love)
8. John Legend
9. Jeremy Irons
10.Hugh Laurie
I agree with: Johnny Depp,
I agree with: Johnny Depp, Alan Rickman (that voice is awesome), and Hugh Laurie.
Guess I like my Brits? Yeah, we should try to do a list of hot men, as picked by lesbians.
Oops! maybe my list is similar to Malinda's lesbianish men..
Maybe...or maybe not.
Going through my list again, I reckon the characteristic that they all share is what I perceive as their comfort and ease with their feminine qualities....LOVE THAT!
So, is that lesbianish???
Maybe it's a lesbian thing
AfterElton 100
Ha!
I called a gay co-worker over and we went through the list with our 'yays' and 'nays'.
I did the very same thing! We also thought it was pretty interesting how our tastes differed. ("Really? You like him?" "You're kidding -- how did he get in the top 10?")
The way I see it, this post has taken great strides in bringing the gay boys and lesbians closer together. :)
IMHO

Great job Sarah!
The other thing I'm absolutely glad about is the fact that not one of the guys voted for Tom Cruise.

Top 100
Well I hardly knew any of those guys that were on the list...lol Oh well
I personally would have had Elvis Presley as number one, he was one good looking man
That's Elvis?
Good grief, I thought it was kd lang.
Not Only But Also
LOL
Lol...I dont see it.
I assure you it's the king during the early 70s, the time when he looked his best
well, no
I don't see it either...NOW YOU'VE CHANGED YOUR PICTURE.
To prove my earlier point, here we have k d lang looking remarkably like Elvis...
I think she's better looking though.
Not Only But Also
Sarah, you rock!
