18 gay and gay-friendly teen actors: a fierce, fabulous Barbie boy, Pugsley Addams, Harvey Milkl, a Russian bodybuilder with a cat,....

I usually profile teen idols after they've graduated to adult hunkiness, but sometimes I can't wait: they're playing gay characters, going to Pride events, wearring  femme/fabulous outfits, or hugging their boyfriends while still teenagers.  Their openness to gay potential gives me hope for a less homophobic future.  I won't look for or post n*de photos, of course, but I usually include some adult co-stars to keep things interesting.

1. Taylor Gregory: At 17, the fierce, fabulous Barbie boy had grown up to become a bodybuilder and fundamentalist. 

2. Alfie Williams (left), star of 28 Years Later and 28 Years Later: Bone Temple, is 15 as of this writing, but hangs out with a surprising number of gay guys, who call him "one of the girls"

3. Gavin Munn, Abraham on The Righteous Gemstones, is gay in my fan fiction, but brought a girl to his real-life junior prom.

4. Isaac Ordonez (not pictured). The sweet, sensitive, queer-coded Pugsley Addams on Wednesday dates dudes.

5. Alkaio Thiele. The wizard in training on Beyond Waverly Place and Kayden Koshelev (below) used to be an item.

6. Kayden Koshelev (left). Drag boy and nonbinary firetruck, Alkaio's Other Half before their breakup. Not to worry, he's moved on.

7. Recker Eans. The gaydar boy on Beyond Waverly Place drums in gay-friendly videos and sings in a boy band with gay-friendly songs.

8. Bentley Storteboom (not pictured). His name and physique had me fooled.  I thought he was 25, and Dutch.

9. Benjamin Pajak (right) played six gay characters before age 15, and sang as Harvey Milk.

Isaac Ordonez models at Paris Fashion Week, with some boyfriends, Lucas from "Stranger Things," some random twinks, and Taylor's dick

 

Isaac Ordonez is best known as the sweet, queer-coded Pugsley Addams on Wednesday,, and he's been in a few other tv shows and shorts, but he seems to be more interested in modeling.  In March 2026, he hit Paris Fashion Week.

He doesn't model like this -- yet

He modeled the androgynous "Washed Out Match," by LaCoste designer Pelagia Kolotourosos.  She was inspired by a tennis game René Lacoste tried to play in 1923: it was washed out due to bad weather, but fans showed up anyway.

Dressed like this?

Galore comments:  "Isaac loves taking risks -- experimenting with textures, fabrics, and silhouettes."  

And gender stereotypes

Here Isaac schmoozes with fellow LaCoste model Taylor Zakhar Perez, who played Alex in Red White and Royal Blue: The bad-boy son of the U.S. President, who falls in love with the stick-in-the-mud Prince Henry of Britain. 

Taylor's modeling is more masculine-coded, but he uses the same face-up pose.  Isaac has a bigger Adam's apple.

I don't think that Isaac is particularly drawn to gay actors, like Alfie Williams: he also posts photos with straight actors Aubrey Plaza (Rio on Agatha All Along) and Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas on Stranger Things).

Wait -- Aubrey Plaza is bi, and Lucas -- straight, but can you figure out why he might be of interest to a gay teen anyway?
