While we all agree that their sexuality or sex appeal isn’t why they are famous, we can’t support but be proud to view some rock legends fly the LGBT colors higher than ever before. Speaking of sex appeal though, some of these guitar players are definitely sexier than any pornstar I have seen on my favorite gaytag videos online.
