Battle of the Network Gays! It's Kurt vs. Kevin & Scotty vs. Lionel vs. Raja!

 

Every week we're going to pick the gays who made the biggest splash on television and let you, the keepers of the flame, decide who will be crowned Gay of the Week. We'll announce the winner the following Monday, and that champion will reign until a new set of challengers are unveiled the following week.

Here are this week's nominees:

Kurt Hummel, Glee

A lot has changed in the months Kurt Hummel spent at the Dalton Academy. When he left McKinley High, he was escaping a place that filled him with fear. This time, he was able to negotiate his return with his former tormentor, demanding that Karofsky educate himself and start a P-FLAG chapter. The halls of McKinely no longer had the ability to scare the young gay man who found his confidence while at Dalton.

Additionally, while the other New Directions members were trying to figure out how to convince Rachel that she didn't need a nose job, Kurt was the one who figured out the way to convince her was to stage a "Barbra-vention". It was another sign of how much Kurt has grown and matured in such a short time.

Kevin Walker & Scotty Wandell, Brothers & Sisters

When their surrogate mother, Michelle, unexpectedly reappeared in their life with a baby they suspected was theirs, Kevin and Scotty reacted differently. Kevin took an agrressive stance, planning to take legal action against Michelle, while Scotty tried to quietly negotiate a deal. In the end, Michelle gave up baby Daniel to his fathers, thanks to the combination of Kevin and Scotty's efforts, something that speaks to how the two are better together.

Lionel Trane, United States of Tara

After last week's threeway, Marshall realized he may be more interested in a relationship with Troy than Lionel, prompting Lionel to break up with Marshall.

Lionel may have kept his walls up when he was with Marshall, asking Marshall questions like if they were together only because they didn't know other gay teens. Having lost Marshall, Lionel was clearly heartbrokenl. It's too bad that it took losing Marshall before Lionel could show that Marshall really meant a lot to him.

Raja, RuPaul's Drag Race

From the very first week, Raja was the one to beat on this season of RuPaul's Drag Race. Her edgy style created some of the season's most memorable visuals and, time and time again, she showed viewers that she knew how to look good on the runway or in front of a photographer's camera. When it came time for RuPaul to pick the next drag superstar, Raja's consistently strong performances was impossible to ignore.

Vote for your favorite by Midnight PST Sunday. Be sure to check back on Monday to see who you've picked as Gay of the Week!
