Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to think about and celebrate all of our favorite celebrity crushes!
Whether or not you’ve got a date today, and whether or not these celebs have dates today, it’s always fun to fantasize about what a cute Valentine’s Day date with your favorite actor or singer would be like.
Would you like Omar Apollo to cook you a nice meal? Or go to the beach with Keke Palmer? What about attending a drag show with Vico Ortiz or Pabllo Vittar? Or maybe you want a nice night in with Tracy Chapman where you can sit by the fireside and whisper sweet nothings to each other?
Whatever your fantasy is, one of these 20 queer celebs should be able to fulfill it! Here are the LGBTQ+ celebs we wish were our Valentines this year.
1. Jelani Alladin
After starring in Fellow Travelers, where he played a reporter, we haven’t been able to stop thinking about how dramatically handsome Jelani Alladin is!
2. Keke Palmer
Keke Palmer is Mother! There’s nothing she can’t do, and we’d let her do it all this Valentine’s Day!
3. Vico Ortiz
Our favorite gay pirate is also one of our favorite drag kings!
4. Reneé Rapp
Can a gay girl get an amen? Rapp is every Gen Z queer girl's crush, and she's ours too.
5. Troye Sivan
"My My My!" We'd certainly "Bloom" for Troye Sivan! The adorable singer and actor makes us feel the "Rush!"
6. Troye Sivan as a girl
When Sivan dressed up in drag for the music video for the music video for "One of Your Girls," it definitely awoke something deep within us!
7. Omar Apollo
The sultry Grammy-nominee could serenade us any time!
8. Victoria Monét
We'd love to celebrate with this recent Grammy-winning bisexual queen on Valentine's Day!
9. Gus Kenworthy
The former Olympian is still hot, hot, hot in our book!
10. Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman & Luke Combs full performance at the Grammy’s.
The music legend reminded us all how beautiful she is when she performed at the Grammys recently. Now, we want to take her out on a date!
11. Pabllo Vittar
Vittar is a global superstar and is one of the most popular drag artists of her generation — and one of our biggest crushes!
12. Daniel Franzese
The original Mean Girls star is still hot, stylish, smart, funny, and oh so fetch!
13. Trace Lysette
Lysette should've been nominated for an Oscar this year for her stunning performance in Monica, but even if the Academy doesn't appreciate her, we will.
14. Auli'i Cravalho
As a canonically-queer Janis in the new Mean Girls musical movie, Auli'i won all of our hearts!
15. Harvey Guillen
The incredibly hot and talented Harvey Guillen, of What We Do in the Shadows fame, can slay us anytime!
16. Niecy Nash and Jessica Betts
Couples don't get any hotter than this Emmy-winning actress and her super hot Hersband.
17. River Gallo
The intersex Every Body and Ponyboi star was a breakout star at Sundance — and a breakout star in our hearts.
18. Betty Who
We love the 6'1" Betty Who for their great songs and for how great they look in a suit!
19. Katy O'Brian
Before she becomes every lesbian's celeb crush when Love Lies Bleeding comes out, we're claiming Katy O'Brian as our Valentine!
20. Murray Bartlett
Apart from being one of the most handsome men in the world, Bartlett continues to astound us with his acting talent!
