AfterElton.com's Best of the "Best of the Year" Lists List

As the year runs out of available calories, stumbles to its knees, and tries desperately to pull itself over the finish line with its fingernails and the sheer force of its will (no relation to the above project, of course), it's tempting to try to encapsulate the peaks and valleys of the last twelve months in a succinct list of some sort. But we here at AfterElton.com don't succumb to such middling impulses. See, when it comes to the exhaustive, near-pathological cataloguing of all that is gay in entertainment, one list is simply not enough.

So we've been running a series of year-end lists, and this post can serve as yet another list that compiles all those lists into one handy reference. At least our neurosis is consistent.

The Year in Gay Books

The Year in Gay Movies

The Year in Gay Television

The Year in Gay Geek

The Year in Gay Theater

The Visibility Awards and Man of the Year

Lest you think this is the end of things, on Friday Michael will publish his Best.Gay.Year.Ever! column, where he discusses everything that didn't make it onto these lists ... which at this point includes several Internet videos and a leaflet passed out by PFLAG. No, seriously, it'll be rad. And also running tomorrow is the Year in Gay Music. Did we miss anything? Because we can throw together a Year in Gay NASCAR or Year in Gay Sock Puppets if there's reason to!
