Suggestion: America's Most Beloved LGBT'er

Seventeen years into the 21st century and supporters of gay rights know that we still have a long way to go. But there are a few lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender performers who have broken through the hate into an area of acceptance and even admiration by the US public at large. Which of these LGBT performers do you feel is most beloved by Americans? Matt BomerAndy CohenAnderson CooperLaverne CoxEllen DeGeneresNeil Patrick HarrisJane LynchRachel MaddowKate McKinnonJim ParsonsZachary QuintoRobin RobertsRuPaulList: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls064048304

I like Neil Patrick Harris the most because of Barney Stinson but I'd say Ellen DeGeneres is most beloved

Do you think he's as famous as the others on the list? And that his sexual identity is known in the "straight world"?

Yes and yes. I'd never heard of RuPaul, and I didn't know about half your list's sexual identity, yet I know of WentWorth Miller and I remember the time he came out and broke many straight girls' hearts. This is clearly very subjective, but maybe think about how many people watch the Big Bang Theory and how many watch Prison Break? Or we could go all empirical and check show ratings or the StarMeter.

Hell no.  Heavily disliked by many people, though a lot of that backlash came after your original suggestion three years ago.

I would probably go with Kate McKinnon. She's hilarious!Most of the reasons why I watch SNL every now and then is because of her spot-on impressions. My favorite one might be Justin Bieber!

I added the ones I felt belonged. I might have included McKellen and John if they were American.
