Happy Canada Day! Here Are Some of Our Favorite Gay Canucks
Posted by snicks on July 1, 2010
July 1st is Canada Day, and we thought we'd take a moment to honor our friends to the north. Canada has always seemed like a friendlier version of the U.S., and is far ahead of us when it comes to marriage-equality. Plus they've given us such fabulous pop culture treasures as SCTV, The Kids In The Hall, Degrassi, Bumper Stumpers, You Can't Do That On Television and Ryan Reynolds.
Most importantly, they taught as that no one, no one! can take away our right to fight and to never surrender.
Canada can also be proud of their contributions to gay visibility, and we're spotlighting some of those men here. This is just a smattering of the out Canadians we admire, and feel free to add your own favorites.
BTW, we haven't forgotten about Canadian lesbian icons k.d. Lang and Tegan & Sara, but this list is just about dudes.
Luke Macfarlane
Well, duh. When someone mentions "out Canadian actor" odds are that most of you automatically think of Luke. Not only is he always the most interesting part of Brothers & Sisters, but he's been in the top five of the AfterElton Hot 100 for the last three years.
