Battle of the Network Gays: June 26

by
Brian Juergens

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.

Last week you voted Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black into the seat of honor, but this week three challengers will do their best to shimmy their poopers into that throne.

Check them out, and vote for your favorite!

This week's contenders:

Lafayette Reynolds (Nelsan Ellis) from True Blood (Why?)

Rafe (Yani Gellman) from Young and the Restless (Why?)

Lt. Col Victor Fehrenbach on The Rachel Maddow Show (Why?)

Reigning Gay Dustin Lance Black

Vote for your favorite by 8 AM EDT on Monday, June 29. And be sure to check back next week to see which gay our readers have carried to glory!

    A real leader in the fight for our rights. Sadly it took the gossip of a third party to bring him to the forefront.

    The only two real contenders are Dustin and Fehrenbach -- the other two are fictional.  And of the two Fehrenbach, who's lived the life, proven that there's great diversity in the gay world, and came out swinging despite being the victim of gossip is the real hero.  BTW, the total is 101%?

    Sometimes the combined percentage can be 101% because of how the percentages are rounded for the individual choices.

    Especially since I suggested Fehrenbach should be Gay of the Week.

    Because he's awesome.

    Personally I think all gays and lesbians should openly boycott the armed services in the US until the DADT policy is abolished.

    Those who are able to leave should do so and state why (rather than being caught being gay)

    It is a big thing to sacrifice your military career but it's the only way real change happens in the US.

    The people of this country and those in charge of the military have to be forced to acknowledge the overwhelming and crucial contributions of gays and lesbians in an overt and public way before people will really move on this issue.

    Kudos to those who've chosen to speak out and who were able to come out publically.  They are brave men and women in more ways than one.

    Whatever the ruling, we should make Lt. Dan Choi the Gay of The Week.
