Battle of the Network Gays for May 29

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 American Idol finalist Adam Lambert into his record-breaking seventh term in the throne, and he will now be retired to the VIP lounge where he will enjoy free shrimp cocktail and soft drinks until the end of the year, when he will be up for the prestigious Gay of the Year crown.

That leaves us with four new challengers! Check them out, and vote for your favorite!

This week's contenders:

David Hyde Pierce on The View (Why?)

Jake Nodar from Out of the Wild (Why?)

T.R. Knight from Grey's Anatomy (Why?)

George Takei on Larry King Live and Party Down (Why?)

Vote for your favorite by 8 AM EDT on Monday, June 1. And be sure to check back next week to see which gay our readers have carried to glory!
