YOUR CAPTION HERE

As we go into the weekend, here's a handy shortlist of the biggest stories of the week on AfterElton.com. And to get you into a playful mood, each week's final post will feature a pic up top that desperately needs captioning. Each week we'll pick our fave suggestion from the comments and run it in the following week's post. Have fun! Drop your caption ideas in the comments, and check out last week's winner after the jump!

• Big Gay News of the Week: Adam Lambert is a gay homosexual While it may not be a surprise to many of us, it's still awesome that the American Idol fave came out loud and proud in Rolling Stone, regardless of what Gene Simmons thinks. Lambert also won the Young Hollywood Artist of the Year award.
• The Tonys were kind of awesome, thanks mostly to NPH's hosting and Bret Michaels' accident. Know who didn't think it was awesome? Bret Michaels.
• The Homo Harlem film series to celebrate gay African-American trailblazers.
• Kathy Griffin brought some A-List to the D-List in the season premiere when she welcomed Bette Midler. We likey.
