Okay, NFL, you got me.

Gay Icon of the Week: The Superbowl

Now, I'm not saying gays hate sports. That's one of the laziest exaggerations and stereotypes I've ever known. But what I am saying is I've never seen such a blatant attempt to get the gays to watch football in my life. Superbowl, GLAAD Awards, what am I watching?

Either way, I was pretty hooked. So thank you, Superbowl, for bringing us all together for one big, gay evening full of sweat, muscles, balls, and L-U-V.

Case in point: I saw all of these things last night during the Superbowl.

Like, wow.

And while I won't get into how much more attractive Eli Manning is than Tom Brady (YEAH I SAID IT!)...

...let's just agree to air the Superbowl on LOGO next year, tell the losing team to sashay away, and order 6 tons more confetti. AND LASERS.
