Jubilee party animal Queen Elizabeth II just knighted Kenneth Branagh, thereby exalting him to the ranks of Laurence Olivier, Elton John, and Ben Kingsley. Hooray! But wait: While I enjoy the nefarious heterosexuality of Branagh (see the above portrait from Hamlet), aren't there some homosexuals who deserve this honor? Here's my top five, ranked backwards for suspense's sake. (I've included one heterosexual who remains my all-time straight crush at #5.)
5)Jeremy Irons: For his dastardly sneers in The Borgias alone, Lizzie!
4) Graham Norton: We were too shallow and unprepared to handle him in the states. That is forever our loss.
3) Boy George: Anytime Boy George gets to wear a crown, we should hold hands and sing.
2) Stephen Fry: I guess, y'know, brilliance is worthy of knighthood.
1) George Michael: Come on, picture QE2 knighting George while whispering the lyrics to "Father Figure" in his ear.
Who else?
