Your Gay of the Week: Luke Snyder, "As the World Turns"

After narrowly surviving the one-two punch of being run down in a parking lot by a luxury sedan and mistaking his biological father for his boyfriend, Luke Snyder of As the World Turns has won the crown in the Battle of the Network Gays.

To find out by what margin Luke bested the other challengers, read on. And be sure to check back in on Friday when a new crop of hopefuls throw down the gay gauntlet in the name of network supremacy!

Why he won: Alright, the kid had a rough week. He went on TV with his mom's cleavage to rally support for gay rights, only to find himself on the business end of a Lexus and wake up to find his loathsome father at his bedside. So let's just chalk this one up to the sympathy vote.

How he won: Young Master Snyder earned 44% of the votes for his Worst Week. Reigning Gay Adam Lambert pulled a very respectable 35%, suggesting that he'll be back swinging. RuPaul's Drag Race champ BeBe Zahara Benet earned 13%, and despite celebrating a birthday, T.R. Knight garnered only 7% of the votes.

Past wins: This is Luke's sixth tour of duty, making him the most popular Gay of the Week ever.

We'll see you on Friday, when your votes will determine who will enjoy gaydom's most sought-after piece of headgear next week!
