Queer Of The Year Readers Poll

Joe, one of my favorite bloggers, created the Queer of the Year Readers Poll.  Head over there and answer this question: "Which queer person most advanced the state of the gay rights movement in 2006?"

In nominating your queer, think about this: "2006 has been a fascinating, maddening, heartening year. Many (some would say, most) of the highest profile queer news events have arisen from scandal. You are welcome to consider whether the persons involved in these scandals may have unwittingly or unwillingly contributed to the advance of gay rights by exposing hypocrisy, cynicism, or discrimination."

Nominations will close on Friday, December 15th.
