Battle of the Network Gays: June 26

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!
