Hot gay women

Abbi Jacobson

In the words of the Passover ritual, if she had only given us “Broad City,” it would have been enough. Last year, the industry’s resident good guy Tom Hanks gave an answer in regards to his Oscar-recognized role in 1993’s “Philadelphia.”

“Let’s address ‘could a straight man do what I did in ‘Philadelphia’ now?’” Hanks told The New York Times.

But even as existential questions about the business of making entertainment persist, audiences and artists are grappling with equally critical questions of representation on screen. Among those questions: should queer roles be played exclusively by queer actors?

It’s an evolving conversation, getting at the very core of what makes the art of acting, well, acting.

‘Here’s a picture of Margot Robbie, are you wet? Yeah, because I kind of was like, ‘Oh, that’s what this has been.’ It’s been like a little secret, I guess, I’ve been keeping from myself even.’ 

Reneé Rapp

Actor and singer Reneé Rapp spoke about her lesbian identity in 2024, after having previously identified as bisexual.

But I’m deeply aware that we are having this conversation in a year when we’re seeing the most aggressive attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community in modern history. Cara Delevingne appears at the top. Or a talent, like playing the banjo,’ Scott said. It was just that I didn’t think I could be and I still can’t articulate it in the best way,’ Gunning said.

“One of the reasons people weren’t afraid of that movie is that I was playing a gay man. Of course, it’s part of my make-up, but I don’t want to trade on it.’ Scott most recently received acclaim for his performance in ‘All of Us Strangers’ and Netflix limited series ‘Ripley,’ and will star in ‘Knives Out’ sequel film ‘Wake Up Dead Man.’ 

Rupert Everett

Rupert Everett, best known for his role in ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding,’ has identified as gay since early in his career, although he has had relationships with both men and women, including a six-year-long affair with TV presenter Paula Yates.

Let me feel.’ 

Jerrod Carmichael

Comedian Jerrod Carmichael discussed having relationships with men in several of his specials before formally coming out as gay in his acclaimed, Emmy-winning special ‘Rothaniel.’ The performer recently starred in Yorgos Lanthimos’ ‘Poor Things,’ and created and starred in an HBO reality series about his life. 

Andrew Scott

Andrew Scott, most famous as the Hot Priest from ‘Fleabag’ and his role as Moriarty in ‘Sherlock.’ first spoke about his sexuality in 2013 in an interview with The Independent.

‘It’s just a fact. Don't be scared to be who you are." She was also in a relationship with Annie Clark - the musician also known as St. Vincent. When the exposure afforded by the series failed to generate any stardom, Hall returned to Texas, where he began writing and directing in offbeat musical videos for YouTube. Like all my friends are gay.

The actor currently stars in ‘Sweeney Todd’ on Broadway and will appear in the Disney+ series Marvel ‘Agatha All Along’ later this year. 

Yasmin Finney

A trans woman, Yasmin Finney plays queer high schooler Elle in Netflix’s ‘Heartstopper.’ She currently has a recurring role on ‘Doctor Who,’ playing the daughter of previous series regular Donna Noble (Catherine Tate). 

Jessica Madsen

Jessica Madsen, who plays the character Cressida Cowper on ‘Bridgerton,’ came out as queer on Instagram in June 2024.

But since her massive breakout success as one hald of the Comedy Central hit, Abbi Jacobson has forged her own path without Ilana Glazer, making a mark all her own. And that feels pretty great.’ 

Taylor Tomlinson

Comedian and ‘After Midnight’ host Taylor Tomlinson came out as bisexual in her February 2024 Netflix stand-up special ‘Have It All,’ joking that ‘I’ve been trying to figure out if I’m bisexual, or if I just binged ‘Euphoria’ too fast.
