10 LGBTQ+ Daddies We'd Like To See On 'The Golden Bachelor'

After years of criticism that The Bachelor only features contestants who are young, white, straight, and cisgender, the franchise is correcting at least part of that list by creating a spinoff called The Golden Bachelor that will feature a leading man in his 70s.

While this is a great first step, it’s not enough because now we’re imagining all of the older LGBTQ+ daddies who would make excellent contestants for a queer version of the new spinoff.

So we’re nominating these 10 queer celebs for the spinoff we just invented: The Golden Bachelor: Gay Edition. We can dream, can’t we?
