For many gay men, 38-old Taye Diggs made his biggest impression on them playing James on NBC's Will & Gracefor five episodes in 2006. As James, Will's love interest, Diggsprovided the perfect counterpart to Will's fussiness, and gay menespecially appreciated the kiss James and Will shared.
But if that's all you know about Diggs, then you're missing out on howtruly exceptional this multi-talented performer truly is. Digg's bigbreak came in 1996 when he originated the role of Benny in Rent. That was followed by roles in Chicago and Wicked and it should be noted, Diggs sings so well, he's featured on the cast recordings for Rent, Carousel and The Wild Party.
Diggs' film roles include a memorable performance as Angela Bassett's very sexy love interest in How Stella Got Her Groove Back, as well as parts in The Wood and The Best Man.
Television success has proven a little more difficult for Diggs as the two shows built around him — Kevin Hill and Day Break — both failed to make it to a second season. But as one of the stars of ABC's Grey's Anatomy spin-off Private Practice, Digg's appears to have finally found the right vehicle to show off his wide-ranging —and hot —talent.
2. Darryl Stephens
Ifgay men love guys who play gay roles, we really love out gay men whoplay gay roles. But even in 2009, the number of roles for men of colorare shockingly few as are the number of out actors of color. Therefore,it really is no surprise that the 35-year old Stephens claims the #2spot on this list. After all, as Noah, the title character on Noah's Arc,Stephens proved week after week that hot not only comes in every color,but doesn't have to mean especially butch or super macho. Noah dressedwith great panache and was a gentle soul who nonetheless exudedsexiness.
While Stephens himself doesn't usually dress with Noah's flair, he'severy bit as sexy as the character he plays. He's also just as out,having discussed the issue in 2008 with Instinct Magazine saying,"I'm still private about my personal life, but my being gay certainlydoes not have to be any big mystery or secret." Nor is it a secret thatgay and bisexual guys are very fond of Darryl.
3. Jensen Atwood
As Wade, Noah's love interest on Noah's Arc,Jensen Atwood gave viewers a front row seat to his character's sexualawakening as he found himself falling in love with another man for thefirst time. Meanwhile, as bisexual warlock Griffen on Dante's Cove, viewers saw a much more erotic, sensual character who slept his way through half of the island.
But whatever the role, this 32-year-old actor commands attention withhis mellifluous voice and mesmerizing eyes. And gay men don't just lovethis straight guy for playing gay roles (frequently shirtless). ThisNAACP Image Award nominee has also appeared at numerous GLBT eventswhere he has spoken out against homophobia. Our only complaint? Wedon't get to see him frequently enough.
4. Shemar Moore
Emmyand Image Award winning actor/model Shemar Moore knows all too well theperils of fame. In 2007, tabloid paparazzi snapped pics of the Criminal Mindsactor naked on a beach in Hawaii. The photos were allegedly shot on agay beach which sparked rumors about the actor. But Moore told People Magazine,"I'm not gay. Not even a little bit. ... But I have no problems withpeople who are gay. My godfather was gay; he died of AIDS. I have dearfriends that are gay."
We see no reason not to accept Moore at his word and no matter his orientation, it's obvious why he takes the #4 spot.
5. Tyson Beckford
Currently mentoring the surviving male contestants on Bravo's Make Me a Supermodel,model/actor Tyson Beckford is almost too handsome for words. Indeed,he's one of the world's few true male supermodels. VH1 tagged him "Manof the Year" in 1995 People Magazine named him one of the "50Most Beautiful People in the World." Coming in #5, it's clearAfterElton.com readers agree with that assessment.
6. Will Smith
[编辑本段]同性恋的“出柜”:
英文“come out of the closet”的直译
指男性(后来也指女性)暴露同志身份,或公开承认自己的性取向的同性恋或双性恋。还有一种说法就是指一个大家不知道他是同志的人进入同志圈子,或者和同性发生关系,这种就是出柜。
简单来说出柜就是承认自己的性取向不同。
Come out (现身):由「出柜」一词延伸而来,指对周遭人与社会表明自己的同志身份。
In the Closet(在衣柜里):这是一个比喻,指同性恋或双性恋者向家人、朋友、认识的人(亲友)以及社会隐藏其性倾向。相对的,当同志向他人表明其同志身份时,称为「走出衣柜」(Come out of the closet),简称「出柜」。如大导演关锦鹏拍《蓝宇》后,我们就看到了关于他「出柜」的新闻。
相对的,当同志向他人表明同志身份时,称为「走出衣柜」 (Come out of the closet),简称「出柜」,又叫「现身」(come out)。
已经出柜了的名人都有:蔡康永、张国荣、关锦鹏、毛宁等。 作者: Karma 时间: 2009-5-13 17:57
