Battle of the Network Gays for May 22

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 (Tuesday, in this case), 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 As the World Turns' Alpha Gay Barista Noah Mayer into the throne, but this week he forfeited his crown by failing to show up for his kingly duties (I hope he's finally getting around to restocking the biscotti station!). So instead we have four new gays scrambling for that pretty headgear!

Check them out, and vote for your favorite!

This week's contenders:

Adam Lambert from American Idol (Why?)

Kurt (Chris Colfer) from Glee (Why?)

Calvin (Paul James) from Greek (Why?)

Officer John Cooper (Michael Cudlitz) from Southland (Why?)

Vote for your favorite by 8 AM EDT on Tuesday, May 26 (Monday's a holiday over here). And be sure to check back next week to see which gay our readers have carried to glory!
