Battle of the Network Gays: September 3, 2009

Every week we pick the gays who we think have made the biggest splash in television 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 in Friday's BGWE 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 newcomer Nick (Nicholas Rodriguez) from One Life to Live took the crown. This week we've got a dance crew, a head of household, an emo kid, and an out (but not so proud) cop competing to be your gay of the week.

Check them out after the break, and vote for your favorite!

This week's contenders:

• Hung's Damon Drecker (Charlie Saxton). After being a brooding emo presence for most of the season, the son of lead character Ray Drecker (Thomas Jane) comes out officially as "not into labels."

• Dance crew Vogue Evolution. It was Bollywood week on America's Best Dance Crew and the gay dance crew's urban vogueing translated amazingly well to an Indian dance routine. Check out the performance video here.

• Big Brother 11's Kevin. He's the first US BB contestant to ever make it to the top four. He also won the head of household challenge this past week and got to talk joyfully about his partner of 9 years with his supportive housemates.

• One Life to Live's Oliver Fish (Scott Evans). It was a big week for the closeted cop: He finally screwed up the courage to come out to himself and his roommates Cristian and Layla.

Vote for your favorite by 10 PM EDT Today. And be sure to check back for tomorrow's BGWE column to see which network gay our readers have carried to glory!
