Meet Your Gay of the Week for the Week of May 6, 2011

He helped defeat a secret conspiracy of aliens. He helped the companions give The Doctor a hero's funeral. Now, Doctor Who's Canton Delaware has one more accomplishment: you've picked him as your Gay of the Week!

Canton dominated the votes, winning an impressive 64%. That enthisiastic response is likely a sign of how gay characters in science-fiction ae fairly rare. A gay gun-wielding sci-fi action hero like Canton is even rarer. It also helped that Canton was played by geek-fave Mark Sheppard.

Happy Endings' Max came in second with 20%. Max is usually a strong competitor for your Gay of the Week votes but Canton turned out to be too much for Max. Brothers & Sisters' Kevin and Scotty came in third, getting 11% for way they adapted to their rapidly-growing family. The Voice's first two out semi-finalists, Tyler and Nakia took the last-place position with 5%.
