We were putting together our current favorite actors who are out and LGBTQ, and the list was so long. We could have gone on and on. What a great thing has transpired. So many LGBTQ actors feel they can be free to live their lives just as they are. Let us introduce our top 13 based on pure acting talent and because we adore them:

Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart is set to star in a gay rom-com for the holidays called The Happiest Season. She also is starring in the new Charlie’s Angels, Underwater and as Jean Seberg in Against All Enemies. Her resume would take up lots of space but really we loved The Clouds of Sils Maria and Personal Shopper. She directed an excellent and dark short film Come Swim and we know she will direct feature films. We’ll just say we love her courage, acting and talent behind the camera.

Colton Haynes

Colton Haynes has starred in series like The Arrow, American Horror Story and Teen Wolf and has two films coming, Triumph and Stucco, and had a lead role in Rough Night. He has such a bright, big future ahead. What a breathtaking looking and talented actor.

Cara Delevigne

Cara Delevigne broke into film with Paper Towns and was wondrous in her role. She has memorable performances to match in Tulip Fever, Her Smell, Suicide Squad and Valerian. Upcoming films include Punk and Life in a Year. Marvelous to look at on screen on off.

Ezra Miller

Ezra Miller has been in everything. Fantastic Beasts, Suicide Squad, Justice League and The Perks of Being a Wallflower are in his resume. Soon to star in The Flash, no wallflower anymore, and Dali Land as the young Dali. Can’t wait.

Chloe Grace Moretz

Chloe Grace Moretz has six films in production including Love is a Gun, the story of Bonnie Parker, starring Moretz. She starred in Greta, The Clouds of Sils Maria, The Miseducation of Cameron Post and in the title role of the remake of Carrie to name a few. The girl is on fire.

Wentworth Miller

His career spans both film and TV series including The Human Stain with Nicole Kidman and Anthony Hopkins and the series Legends of Tomorrow and The Flash. He is also a screenwriter and producer. Our favorite convict fantasy.

Tessa Thompson

Tessa Thompson had a remarkable hot summer with three films released: Little Woods, Men in Black: International and Thor: Ragnarok. She was amazing in all three but Little Woods stole our hearts. She has two films in production including self producing and starring in Sylvie. Sylvie is a jazz romance set in New York City during the 50’s and 60’s. Bring it on Tessa.

Matt Bomer

Matt Bomer has done it all and quite successfully … theater, TV series and film, including the very fun and super sexy Magic Mike movies. He is soon to star in The Boys in the Band, which is in production.

Daniela Vega

Troye Sivan

Troye Sivan, already a music sensation, has begun to build an acting career in films with terrific performances in Boy Erased, the Spud series of films and X-Men Origins. We will see more of him soon on the big or small screen and his music videos continue to be small masterpieces.

Samira Wiley

Samira Wiley is killing it everywhere she is cast. The breakout star of Orange is the New Black has gone on to star in The Handmaid’s Tale and has three movies in production. We will see her in Vault, Bios and Breaking News from Yuba County. If you are missing Samira we will see her in season 3 of The Handmaid’s Tale soon.

Ruby Rose

Ruby Rose emerged into the spotlight on Orange is the New Black and has not stopped since. She has been in Pitch Perfect 3, John Wick 2 and XXX: The Return of Xander Cage and she has turned in a great character in all of them. She now stars in the series Batwoman and has two films in production: Doorman and SAS: Red Notice. No more sharks though please. Her own short film, Break Free, is fiercely autobiographical and is literally a masterpiece.
