LGBTQ+ ERA, who was your first gay celebrity crush?

[Lightning Count]

For me it was David Duchovny (I also crushed on Gillian Anderson I'm pansexual) on the X-Files and Bret Hart, I remember crushing on both and that was a big part of what led to me realising I wasn't straight.

Bonus, my first gay video game crush is Leon S. Kennedy from RE2.

 

[Kyuuji]

 

[Prophet Five]

I didn't know it then but I sure as fuck know it now.

 

[KOfLegend]

Daniel Radcliffe in the bathtub scene in Goblet of Fire. Child me was smitten.

 

[MechaMarmaset]

Joseph Gordon Levitt as Tommy in third rock from the sun.

 

[Aske]

Cody Fern. I saw him in American Horror Story, and was like "oh nice, I'm definitely bi."

 

[Killthee]

Another power ranger crush here 😂

 

[魑魅魍魎]

Growing up my major crush was on Dustin Nguyen from 21 jump street and Adric from Doctor Who. Sexual awaking was at the end of the movie, Weird Science, the main character Wyatt goes into the kitchen wearing women's panties.

 

[pokeystaples]

Whew! My little dyke heart swooned!

 

[JigglesBunny]

Brendon Urie was my pansexual awakening. That is a well sculpted man.

 

[bazzi]

rocket raccoon

 

[Necromanti]

God, I don't even remember. Maybe Shawn Ashmore in Animorphs since that's the first person that came to mind.

 

[Lightning Count]

Seeing some of these answers and thinking "Wow, I'm old."

 

[BRsomebody]

I don't know about first exactly but the most memorable one for me was definitely Nick Frost.

 

[Royalan]

Uhhh...lots of Power Rangers fans in here.

 

[echoshifting]

Harrison Ford, Indy and Han Solo. When I was small I thought I wanted to be him, as I grew older I realized I wanted something else 😏

Too bad Jason David Frank turned out to be a right winger.

 

[Fart Master]

Not lgbt but Lee Pace

 

[Kitsunebaby]

I guess Lucy Lawless. But specifically as Xena.

I wanted so bad to be Gabrielle so I could follow her around.

The one and only Ravishing Rick Rude

 

[theme park joe]

I forget, it was some high school TV show when I was little and they were in a men's locker room. One dude was in just a towel and was pushed into a towel hamper.

 

[Prophet Five]

Power Rangers has so many hot dudes. Probably why I'm still actively involved in the franchise/fandom 30 years later. Goddamn.

Brendon Urie was my pansexual awakening. That is a well sculpted man.

He's so fucking fine. WHEW.

GAWD! This brings back memories. Those dimples...muah

 

[jleo]

Not sure about the first, but had some serious confusing feelings about some of the guys in Zoey 101

 

[Kasai]

John Barrowman in The Producers and in Doctor Who/Torchlight.

Actually, I think he was the one who made me realize I was bi, or at the very least not 100% into women.

 

[Kolya]

Probably some boyband member, maybe Jay(?) from 5ive or the youngest kid in Hanson.

 

[latex]

Ricky Ullman in Phil of the Future is a core memory. I think it was the first time I looked at a guy and was like "wait a second…"

 

[heathen earth]

Melissa Joan Hart from Clarissa explains it all (it was age appropriate!), followed shortly by Gillian Anderson from the X-Files.

I still have a crush on one of those women.

 

[Airegin]

Matthew Lawrence in Boy Meets World.

 

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

Gotta be this cutie, closely followed by Gackt.

 

[Ambient80]

My bisexual awakening as soon as he blew a kiss at the camera. Step on me, daddy

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

I was heavy into Chris Evans since... before he even became Cap. That one scene in that first fantastic four movie where he burns his clothes off was the only redeemable moment in that pile.

Yeah him and Johnathan Taylor Thomas caught my eye when I was young

 

[GamerJM]

It was unironically him.

 

[ThereAre4Lights]

 

[Zutroy]

Earliest I can remember is Casper Van Dien and a few scenes in Starship Trooper (a certain shower one in particular 👀). I would have been 7 haha!

 

[Nexus2049]

I remember when I was a kid watching Teen Titans I had a huge crush on Beast Boy. Not sure about celebrities.

Imagine how mad I was when I found out he had to shave his chest for the first Cap film.

DEF had major gay awakening with Kano. i had trouble thinking of who from way back until you posted this. Yeah def think it was Kano from the Original movie.

Also just thought of Aries from Xena/Hercules. He def was one of my first crushes too. Still think Kano was first tho

 

[Small Red Boy]

Honestly I don't remember, but I do remember that my first Anime crush was Zoro lol.
