Dan Loves Batman & Robin!

As a kid in the 60's, long before puberty, my first crush must have been TV's Batman & Robin.

Maybe it was the masks, perhaps the mysterious tights, or maybe the camp - probably all three - but they did put a tingle in my 6-year-old loins.

And then the purring Earth Kitt as Catwoman confused me even more.

Though in retrospect, she was just the gay icing on the cake!

Gordon Loves Martin Sheen!

My first gay crush was Martin Sheen.

It was 1972, and I was 13 when I saw a movie called "That Certain Summer".

It was the story of a romance between two men, and it was something I'd never seen before.

And Martin Sheen was so handsome. I dreamed about him for weeks!

His great looking body and hairy chest literally just made me melt.

In summer of 1981, I was working at a hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma where they filmed the movie "Tex".

Martin Sheen's son Emilio Estevez was one of the stars of the film.

We became friendly. His dad came for a visit, and Emilio introduced me to him.

I was in such a state of euphoria that I could not speak. I just shook my head and smiled.

Brian Loves Lance Bass!

My first gay crush was Lance Bass from *NSync

Which is strange, as I definitely didn’t know I was gay at the time.

I didn’t even know what the heck gay meant, except it’s what all the boys called you when you annoyed them.

But there was always something about Lance Bass that attracted me.

He's the reason I was on Team *NSync instead of Team Backstreet Boys.

Although, Nick Carter was nothing to sneeze at, either...

While all the girls drooled over Justin Timberlake as lead singer - and all the boys were proclaiming how gay the boy bands were, all the while ogling Britney Spears - I had my eye on Lance.

At least I had good Gaydar for a 10-year old...

Bill Loves John Phillip Law!

My first crush was John Phillip Law in
"The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming"

Although 1966 seems about as far away to me as the Paleolithic Age, I can still vividly recall the night I saw "The Russians Are Coming" at the old Manor Theater in San Mateo, CA.

I was 13, and when John Phillip Law came on the screen wearing his Russian submariner sweater and speaking with that thick 'Hollywood' Russian accent - I could feel my heart begin to race!

His 'love' interest on the screen was some generic blond (I think she was famous as the first Clairol Summer Blond girl), but when he gazed longingly into her eyes and spoke his romantic lines, everything else faded to black and it was just me and him.

Needless to say, I was first in line when "Barbarella" opened!

David Loves Greg Evigan!

My first gay crush was Greg Evigan.

I was about 13 when he starred in "B.J. & The Bear" - which sounds like the name of a porn flick now - LOL!

I was madly in love with him.

He had the perfect blend of a youthful face and a manly, furry body. He is just the type of guy that I'm still attracted to.

I spent a lot of time as an early teen looking at his shirtless pix, imagining running my fingers through his gorgeous hair. Yes, both the long lovely hair on his head, and the fur on his chest.

I also spent some time using my pillow to cuddle up with and pretend that it was Greg I was wrapping my arms around.

I also may have practiced kissing my pillow thinking about Greg, but I'll never admit to it. ;-)
