When it comes to these openly gay celebrities in explicit gay roles, representation splatters - all over the place. Cue the squirt emoji. In all seriousness, many of our readers want to know which of their favorite gay roles in movies and television shows are actually cast with gay celebrities. We love the proliferation of interesting gay characters available for actors to take on over the past decade, but what we love even more is when those characters are portrayed by out-and-proud men.
What do we love even more than that? When the roles feature no-holds-barred depictions of gay sexuality. The top 10 gay men in gay roles found in the gallery below are helping to destigmatize gay sex by bringing gay sex to the forefront of movies and television shows. Audiences don't bat an eye at illicit straight sex scenes, and yet, gay scenes are still considered taboo enough to draw ire.
Case in point? The NC-17 rating slapped on 2023's Passages. The movie's director, Ira Sachs, called the rating (which he rejected in favor of releasing Passages as unrated):
...A form of cultural censorship that is quite dangerous, particularly in a culture which is already battling, in such extreme ways, the possibility of LGBT imagery to exist.
Why are we talking about all of this today? Because this fall alone has delivered some incredible performances. Ben Whishaw gets his hole fingered while topping his husband in Passages and Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey deliver some, frankly, pornographically hot sex scenes in the brand new series Fellow Travelers. We dare even the straightest man to not get aroused while watching what Bomer does to Bailey's holes.
And that's that on that. Below you can find explicit gay sex scenes from the biggest gay names in Hollywood, like Matt Bomer, Murray Bartlett, Jonathan Groff, and Ben Whishaw. They're here, they're queer, and they're smeared. Get used to it.
