100 Greatest Gay Britons

100 GREATEST GAY BRITONS!

These are the Top One Hundred Gay Britons, as voted for by the general public, during the period December 1st to 21st, 2002. This alphabetical list includes gay men and lesbians, bisexuals and transsexuals, transvestites and impersonators of the opposite sex, and people whose homosexuality has been credibly inferred since their deaths. It also includes heterosexuals who have benefited the gay community by their work, their looks, or their value as role models, or who have opposed homosexuality in a counterproductive way.
