Best. Gay. Week. Ever. (December 04, 2009)

IT'S LIKE HAVING 34,000 KIDS. AND YOU BETTER NOT HAVE A FAVORITE!
In my last BEST.GAY.WEEK.EVER! I included a collage to show the avatars of just a few of our wonderful AfterElton.com readers who make this site such a great, vibrant place. Just a nice way to show my appreciation with no possible repercussions, right? 

Wrong! The squabbling between readers started almost immediately along with charges of favoritism and possibly bribes being offered to a certain editor. Honestly, I haven't seen so much arguing since the last Walker family dinner on Brothers & Sisters. 

To assuage those hurt feelings and show that I don't have favorites, I've put together an even bigger collage of avatars chosen strictly at random! There are no favorites here! I love all 34,000 AE readers equally! I swear! 

Sadly, one of the most ferocious arguments that broke out over the previous collage was between longtime AE readers Liz (whose avatar I used) and Kitty (whose avatar I didn't use). Let's just say hell hath no fury like a spurned Kitty! After wading into the fray and separating the two, it came to my attention that there is a longstanding rivalry between them over who has the cuter kitty avatar. 

Like all great leaders who have come before me from King Solomon to Abraham Lincoln to Sue Sylvester, I'm going to settle this dispute once and for all. Actually, you folks are going to settle it by voting on the matter. So here are the two avatars in question: 

Smackdown! Liz vs Kitty!

That's Liz's avatar on the left and Kitty's on the right. Now it's up to you to choose the winner. (And no bribing the voters, Kitty and Liz!) 

(BTW, just in case it isn't clear, this is all in fun. Liz and Kitty are good friends and no one tried to bribe me to get their avatar in the collage — although it isn't too late to send Dove Dark Chocolate...)

Next page! So many Asshat candidates to pick from! Or go here if you can't face such ugliness!
