Your Gay of the Week: Neil Patrick Harris

In what will be a stunning upset to exactly no one aside from Bret Michaels (for whom many, many things must be stunning upsets, one can imagine), Tony Awards host Neil Patrick Harris has once again snagged the crown to become your Gay of the Week.

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

Why he won: King Patrick Harris brought some serious wit and humor to his Tonys hosting gig (that sushi-eating Piven dig? Genius!) before knocking it out of the park with his closing medley.

How he won: Harris earned a whopping 63% of the vote, with Greek's bon-voyaging gay fratbrother Heath (Zack Lively) coming in second with 17%. Out Broadway star Gavin Creel pulled a respectable 16% for his bewigged Hair performance, and former crown-holder David Hyde Pierce earned only 4% of the votes, likely because he only came out three times this week (slacker!).

Past wins: This is King Patrick Harris' fourth win, and his second in 2009.

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