A moment of 'yum' in a sea of 'meh'

[WillParkinson]

Even before professional rugby player Nick Youngquest struck up his public friendship with his out teammate Gareth Thomas, many gay men were already aware of the very handsome Youngquest.

After all, the 26-year-old Australian has appeared in rather racy pictorials for not one, but three gay magazines – DNA in Australia, Attitude in the UK and the French magazine Têtu. And those weren’t even the first time Youngquest had stripped down, having first done so in 2006 for a charity calendar in Australia that raised funds for National Breast Cancer Foundation.

But it is Youngquest’s recent friendship with his Celtic Crusaders teammate Gareth Thomas – so humorously documented via their tweets – that has elevated Youngquest from just being a sex symbol for gay men to actually being an incredibly cool gay ally.

2. Do you think he's circumcised?

Just sayin... :evilgrin:

There is nothing hotter than a beautiful heterosexual with very enlightened views on homosexuality that is completely comfortable around and does not feel threatened by gay men. When that man is a professional athlete (see also: Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, and Ben Cohen), that makes him even more appealing. I just wish there were a lot more men like him.
