George Loves Ricky Nelson!

My first gay crush was when I was 11, and started realizing I was attracted to men. I actually had four, all at the same time. I used to buy popular starlet magazines and save pix of them when I saw they were featured. My 4 gay crushes were:

Ricky Nelson

I watched "Ozzie & Harriet" all the time,

just to see him.

Tab Hunter

I fell in love with that cute face the first time

I saw the movie of "Damn Yankees." I met him

and even appeared on stage with him in a production of "Here Lies Jeremy Troy" years later.

Tommy Sands

He was from Houston where I grew up,

and strangely enough, I always wondered WHY he married Nancy Sinatra. Even at age 11,

that seemed out of character to me.

Troy Donahue

I fell in love with this hunk of a star when

I read in a magazine, under a column called

"Secrets Of Your Idols," that he slept naked.

Alas, Ricky and Troy are dead, and Tab and Tommy have become multi-millionaire real estate moguls. Tab declared himself gay, which is wonderful. They claim Troy was not gay, but I'm still not convinced.
