Battle of the Network Gays! for December 12

Every Friday we pick the gays in television who have had the best week and leave it to you, the keepers of the flame, to decide who will be crowned Gay of the Week and enjoy their own fancy button over on the left. We'll announce the winner on Monday, and that champ will reign until a new set of challengers are introduced the following Friday to try to steal his title.

Reigning Gay of the Week Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, Prop 8: The Musical) worked that crown and snagged a Golden Globe nomination yesterday, so his week would be pretty hard to beat. But will the gay voting public grant him another week in the throne?

Meet the new contenders and find out why they rated this week, after the break!

This week's contenders:

Luke Snyder from As the World Turns (Why?)

Andrew Van De Kamp from Desperate Housewives (Why?)

Kevin Walker from Brothers & Sisters (Why?)

To have your voice heard, vote in the below poll by 8AM EST on Monday, December 15th. And may the best gay win!
