I am not one to normally get onto my soapbox about something, but this thread automatically assumes that all gay people think alike. Every one of us on this planet, regardless of sexuality, have personal preferences. Therefore asking who is "loved" by "the gays" or the "gay population" is a little bit naive and ignorant. There are many actors and celebrities who are allegedly loved by this gay community, but that may not reflect individual preferences. For example, of the people listed in the above post, I would personally only rate one of them.
I am not accusing anyone of anything with my reply, I just think that people could choose their worRAB better sometimes.
