Battle of the Network Gays: July 9, 2009

Every week we pick the gays who we think have made the biggest splash in televsion 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 in Friday's Best Gay Week Evenr column, and that champ will reign until a new set of challengers are introduced the following week to try to steal his title.

Last week you voted Lt. Col Victor Fehrenbach into the seat of honor, but this week three challengers will do their best to wrest away his sceptre.

Check them out, and vote for your favorite!

This week's contenders:

Phillip Chancellor III (Thom Bierz) from The Young and the Restless (Why?)

Rafe (Yani Gellman) also from The Young and the Restless (Why?)

Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd) [we can't bear to split them up!] in Torchwood: Children of Earth (Why?)

Reigning Gay Lt. Col Victor Fehrenbach 

Vote for your favorite by 11 PM EDT today. And be sure to check back in tomorrow's BGWE column to see which gay our readers have carried to glory!
