Just because they like dudes doesn't mean we can't think they're totally dreamy.
Gay men and straight women have been natural allies for years, sharing relationship horror stories and top billing on popular '90s sitcoms. And now that there are so many out and proud celebrities, and such adorable ones, too, that we don't see any reason why we should limit our crushes to heterosexuals. Here are seven of our favorite famous gay men, and the reasons we love them so (yes, like that).

Our Ask YourTango feature is THE place for you to give and receive relationship advice.
When it comes to love (and relationships), everyone's an expert. And everyone is hopelessly lost. And everyone is somewhere in between. On top of that, everyone has questions that they feel goofy about asking their friends, family and local clergy. In addition, everyone has answers to questions that their family, friends and local clergy are just not asking them
The "ask an expert a question" format has been around since the advent of print and then digital media. The opportunity to anonymously ask a wise person (a real wise guy) a question about your relationship (and love and sex and dating) … Read More

In this week's Savage Love, a young woman writes to Dan Savage about her desire for rough sex and her new boyfriend's seeming inability to give it to her.

Guys are talking about bestiality, evolution, falling for a friend and divorce.
While most media is still focused on one man in particular, we decided a slow news Tuesday was a good time to check in with the topics floating around the male minds this week.
YourTango's Tomfoolery blogger, Tom Miller, is pondering the role that evolution plays in our dating and mating rituals. Since those who marry later in life—and therefore have fewer babies—tend to be a more educated, does this mean our population is getting dumber? Tom is dubious.

How to be a submissive, equal rights-loving housewife.
Sex columnist Dan Savage tackles a spankophile's sticky wicket in his Savage Love column this week: a young woman wants her boyfriend to both spank and respect her.
She writes:
"I'm a female college student and a feminist. I expect equal pay, equal treatment, and fairness when it comes to chores at home. But I have fantasies of domestic discipline. Some days, I'd like to rush home and clean the apartment and make dinner for my boyfriend wearing only an apron. Then I'd appreciate it if he'd find some excuse--something I did wrong--to spank me until I cry before having … Read More
