Your Gay of the Week: Dustin Lance Black

After what turned out to be a rousing round of voting over the weekend, Oscar-winning Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black has emerged from the fray your Gay of the Week.

Find out by how much the fan-fave beat the others, after the jump!

Why he won: Black appeared on Anderson Cooper 360 to discuss gay rights concerns and impressed with his level head and concise message.

How he won: Black earned 40% of the votes this week, narrowly edging out "That's Gay" smartypants Bryan Safi, who earned an impressive 34%. Despite defying death and red nail polish, True Blood's Lafayette earned only 15% and Greek's gay fratboy Calvin pulled a mere 11%.

Past wins: This is Black's second time in the throne, the last being in March, following his Oscar win.

Black's benevolent rule will last until Friday, when new challengers will attempt to knock that brilliant, shimmering crown from his pate. See you then!
