Battle of the Network Gays: November 05. 2009
Every week we pick the gays who we think have made the biggest splash in television (or pop culture in general) and leave it to you, the keepers of the flame, to decide who will be crowned Gay of the Week. We'll announce the winner on Friday, and that champ will reign until a new set of challengers are introduced the following week to try to steal his title. Last week, we gave an honorary, in memoriam crown to "Friend of Dorothy (Zbornak)" Bea Arthur. This week we've got four new contenders vying for the throne, including two from the same soap opera. Will they split their vote and open up a path to victory for either a flame-haired former ice skater, or a pair of globetrotting gay brothers? Check them out after the break, and vote for your favorite!
Vote for your favorite by 10 PM EDT Today. And be sure to check back tomorrow on the blog to see which network gay our readers have carried to glory! POLL HAS CLOSED. RESULTS POSTED ON THE BLOG FRIDAY.

It's ALL about Oliver Fish this week
Kyle is a deserving runner-up, but it was Fish's speech to the protesters and his coming-out that triggered all the subsequent events, including the final clinch with Kyle. Definitely one of the best "awwwww" moments I've seen in awhile gay-wise.
However, if you haven't seen "Modern Family," the penultimate scene in the parking lot put me into laugh-out-loud hysterics.
Agreed about Modern Family
Thirded
I absolutely, positively love this show, and not just for our boys, although they are divine. Every single person in the cast is spot-on perfect. I cannot remember the last time I fell this hard for a show so quickly. Probably Will and Grace, and that was 11 years ago, and I seldom laughed as hard at that show as I do with this one (except for Dirty Little Pig Boy, probably their finest ep).
I am firmly aboard the Modern Family train. I just hope and pray they can keep up this level of hilarity.
Can't agree with you
Modern Family
Unfair!
How can you make us pick between Kyle and Fish!?!? They should be up there together, just like the brothers. Neither of them would have been as good alone. They became, and truly were, a team this week, and splitting them up is just mean.
Since you forced me to pick between them, I went with Kyle, simply because of the amazing delivery of the speech he gave to Oliver when he left Nick. It made me get teary, and I don't get all choked up at TV shows very often (maybe once a year at most). Besides that, I think our gorgeous Fish is going to get tons more chances to win.
But you are evil, evil, EVIL! to make us choose between them. There had better be a tie this week.
PS: I also loved Mitchell this week, and would have voted for him, but I am officially a squee'ing fanboy of Oliver and Kyle 4ever.
I need help. :-)
yes it's totally unfair!
you had to put Kyle and Oliver together this time, it's cruel! i love them both,anyway this time i voted for Kyle, maybe becouse i always picked Oliver before.
Yep, unfaiiir!
I was just about deciding to boycott the Battle of the Network Gays. Honestly! For exactly that reason - that it's unfair, because it's impossible to choose! But Joe, when you wrote that you hope for a tie, I was OK, let's see that happen! I hope it will be 50/50%!! It better be!
And I'm totally not telling who I voted for (partly, because I really haven't been able to decide yet................ oh, the agony!!).
What else is unfair...
Oliver Fish all the way
As much as I want to vote for Kyle....Oliver's speech to the protesters and just the sheer raw emotion he displayed on national TV makes him the winner this week. But if Kyle comes in runner-up they both win. I love this couple more than any of the other gay couples (few as they may be) on TV right now.
Can't decide
Sorry, I can't vote this week. Too close between Kyle and Fish, and Mitchell's in the mix too. I would feel uncomfortable choosing Kyle over Fish over Mitchell, or Fish over Kyle or Mitchell.
Oliver vs. Kyle?!
Officer Oliver v. Dr. Kyle?
Oh but no!!!
Our very own Sophie's Choice...
Kyle
Kyle
As much as I love Scott....
It's Kyle for me. I totally feel like SE's won so many of these already, and Kyle's last one was ages ago (if I'm not mistaken....)
But for the reason that I cannot watch his admission of love to Oliver without turning into a wreck! And then Kyle the morning after *sigh*! He was aglow with newfound Oliver love. While SE had this slight nervous energy going, BC infused so much happyface and flirt eyes and shiny smile in Kyle's face and voice and demeanor. He was already a different man and the shift from Nick to Oliver couldn't have been more stark.
So, yep. Kyle for me!
(I do LOOOOOVE Mitchell. He was fab this week!)
Scott, because...
Is the whole childhood ice
