Jay Loves Mike Lookinland!

So, I was a "straight boy" who came out at age 44. But, I have two answers and two gay crushes.

First was Mike Lookinland as Bobby Brady on "The Brady Bunch." I was only 12 and he was only 10, but I had such a thing for him. I even wrote to him, and received an autographed pic in return.

A few years later, my first really sexual crush was Christopher Atkins in
"The Blue Lagoon."

He was the first image I jacked-off to often.

Mark Loves Chad Lowe!

I was 16 when I had my first gay crush on Chad Lowe,
and his character Jesse McKenna on "Life Goes On"

I had a mild interest in the show "Life Goes On" when it first came on, but as soon as they introduced Jesse McKenna, I was like, "WHO IS that dreamy guy?"

It was revealed that his character was dealing with HIV/AIDS, and this made my heart break for the character, and love him even more.

Chad gave such an incredible performance. And soon 
I daydreamed of being able to comfort Jesse, embrace him, and tell him I loved him.

I was grappling with being gay and actually had a girlfriend at the time. She wondered why I was so fixated with the show. But a thousand horses would never have been able to drag it out of me, that it was because of Chad Lowe. Haha!

Jerry Loves Austin St. John!

My first gay crush was Austin St. John -
AKA Jason the Red Power Ranger from
"Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers."

I was 8-years old. 

And as far as I'm concerned, there was no bigger heart-throb during my childhood than Jason, the Red Power Ranger.

I remember liking him so much that I wanted to be related to him.

That way, he could sleep over...

My parents got me a ring once, and they asked what color stone I'd like. I picked a red one so I could pretend we were together. No judgements, kids.

Seeing him in those cut-off shirts stirred feelings inside me I didn't even know I had. Or could name.

Joe Loves Jordan Knight!

The year? 1989. My age? 12. And I had something in common with every pre-pubescent girl of the day.

I was obsessed with New Kids On The Block!

And for one reason:

Jordan
Nathaniel
Marcel
Knight

Yes I am a dork and know his full name. I also know his birthday, May 17. Don't judge me.

I thought he was "cool" - but little did I know what "cool" really meant.

I loved his big brown eyes, rat tail, dance moves, his VOICE, and of course that SMILE.

Celebrity crushes have come and gone over the years. But Jordan will always be my first. 
I even professed my love for him via Twitter, to no avail. Sigh.

Did I mention he's gotten better with age?

Joe - Chicago, IL

Gustavo Loves Josh Hartnett!

I had my first gay crush when I was about 10.
It was Josh Hartnett in the movie "Pearl Harbor."

At that time I don't think I even knew what being gay was.

But I did know there was something about it that made me go crazy.

Many people didn't like this movie, claiming that it was too slow or too romantic to be considered a real war movie. 

As if I cared!

I asked my dad to buy it for me and he agreed.

He must have thought, "That's a war movie, the kind of movie I want my boy watching." Ha! Little did he know (or myself, for that matter) that the real reason I loved this movie was the fact that I was developing an early fixation for men in uniform.

When I finally got my hands on the DVD, I found myself watching the sex scene between Josh and Kate Beckinsale over and over again. I have never in my life been so jealous of a person, as I was of her.

I soon realized I didn't like this movie for the same reason as other boys. And to this day, I think dog tags are the sexiest accessory a man can wear.
