Awhile back, I complained that People magazine's hottest bachelor's list did not include any openly gay men. Well, leave it to AfterElton.com to come up with a REAL list. Today, the site revealed its Hot 100 List of 100 men who rank as gay and bisexual men's "favorite smokin' hot guys - gay straight or bi".
Voters who identified as gay or bisexual were asked to send in their lists of their top 10 choices. The thousands of results were then tallied, resulting in a DIVERSE list of musicians, athletes, actors and models. Jake Gyllenhaal (above) proved to be the hottest of the Hot 100. (Sigh...) Forty-nine of the Hot 100 have played gay, 15 identified as gay, with British actor John Barrowman and Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight earning spots in the top 10.

Barrowman responded, "I am extremely proud of who I am and what I can do for my community - the gay, lesbian and transgender community. I am proud that you have put me in this position - that you've honored me and continue to watch and enjoy what I do because I will represent you guys in the best possible way that I can."

Another favorite in the Hot 100 is CNN newsman Anderson Cooper whose silence about his private life has infuriated some but a lot of us love him anyway. Cooper's response to making the list: "I'mflattered to be on the list. Clearly, they have not seen my pale skinny chicken legs. It's nice to know there is a market for pale, skinny, grey-haired people."
Love the self-deprecating humor Anderson...but sorry, you're still HOT!
Great to see these two openly gay men on the list:

Chad Allen....and...John Amaechi...they are as courageous and articulate as they are good looking.

Check out the complete list at AfterElton.com. (the photos cannot be beat!) But after the jump, I've posted a handful of my favorite guys who were included:
