People thinks the gays are sexy too!
To promote their annual "Sexiest Man Alive" issue (a highly esteemed list second only to AfterElton.com's own Hot 100), People Magazine has uploaded 100 Sexy Men In 1 Minute to their website. The video clip is, well, exactly what you'd expect: a collection of photos of 100 sexy male celebrities set to music which lasts exactly one minute. Interestingly, amongst the staples of such lists (Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Jakey Poo, etc.) at least three openly gay celebs made the cut: T.R. Knight, Neil Patrick Harris, and Tim Gunn (though there easily could be more, as those photos fly by awfully fast). Now, as someone who has flipped through an issue of People once, maybe twice in my lifetime (and only then in a doctor's waiting room, when there were no other options), I'm not sure that the magazine has ever included any gay men on their sexy list. Browsing through the photo galleries on their site, which only date back to 2003, I wasn't able to spot any. If the gays' invasion into the video is any indication, might we see some openly gay men included when the list is released next week? Submitted by on Tue, 2007-11-06 15:05. |

My apologies for my sarcasm, I hate Tuesdays.

Assume nothing
You are assuming that none of the past nominees were closeted gays. I look at People while waiting in the grocery line. I haven't seen every list year but if recall correctly Kayan Douglas made the list a few years back. I know of several closeted gays that often make those sorts of lists and have to think they have made the list at some point over the years . This year's list seems to feature more out gays than in the past and it may come to include more in the future if others acknowledge their sexuality is less important than their talent(s). There have been many gay stars through the years and will be in the future, maybe they just won't have to suffer shame as they once did.
I guess that depends on the
