This is the second-annual Washington Blade Most Eligible LGBT Singles issue. It began with reader nominations — and there were many. From there, our staff chose the 20 Most Eligible, with an eye for locals with interesting stories, those doing compelling work and, yes, those who look good.
These 20 D.C.-area singles identify as LGBT. They were chosen from a pool of more than 200 nominees.
Check out the profiles (by clicking on the photos below) and then come to Town Danceboutique on Saturday, Feb. 13 at 10 p.m. to meet our winners in person.

Sorry. No data so far.
interesting list. perhaps this would have been better to hit two in each decade. this current list means you couldn’t find or didn’t try to hit any males 39-56. You missed an entire generation of gay men and i happen to know two in that age range that are very successful and bachelors. i know, you couldn’t list everyone, but this bunch of males @38 and under hasn’t been in the dating pool very long (realistically).
Perhaps you should look throughout the country — rather than just in the eastern cities (or west coast).
You might be surprised at what lurks out here.
