Best. Gay. Week. Ever. (May 18, 2007)

OH MY GAWD! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO THE PROM?
We're less than two weeks away from the debut of Noah as Luke's (Van Hansis) love interest on As the World Turns.

Speaking of ATWT, they've got a new opening montage, and Van Hansis has a fairly prominent spot in it which makes me hopeful they are going to keep doing interesting stuff with his character.

Finally, speaking of soap operas, be sure to check out the clip from this week's Passions. Remember our article on the TV's Most Influential Gay Sex Scenes from a couple of weeks ago? This steamy bit totally would have been on it.

AFTERELTON.COM READERS ARE SMART AND SEXY!
Speaking of our Gay Sex Scenes article, I wasn't the least bit surprised when it drew a lot of traffic. Folks just love to read about sex, which explains the success of Maxim, Cosmo, and pretty much anything about George Clooney. Of course, such base motives had nothing to do with why we ran our story about sex.

But I was also very pleasantly surprised when the first part of our two part look at Gay Newsmen did very well. Sex sells, but so does thoughtful journalism! At least when you have our readers.
