GAY.COM'S HOT JOCK FINALS

Dozens of member-athletes submitted themselves for the title of Gay.com's "Hottest Jock," but only five remain.  After several months, thousands of peer votes, four initial rounds, and one round of semi-finals, the competition has been narrowed down to a triathlete, college swim champ, rodeo rider, all-around fitness buff and a lover of extreme sports and martial arts.

"These five finalists are just a taste of the amazing athletes we saw in this competition," said James Schend, Health and Fitness Editor for Gay.com.  "We were very impressed by many of the athletes who competed for the title of Gay.com's Hottest Jock. It was great to see that we had athletes from many sports represented," added Schend.

You don't have to be a member to vote, and you can vote as many times as you like before the competition closes on midnight, December 20, and the Hottest Jock on Gay.com will be named.

HOWARD STERN CAUSING PEOPLE TO "OUT" THEMSELVES

If you think Howard Stern is nothing but a homophobic loudmouth shock jock full of faggot jokes and lesbian exploits, you might want to think again.  In an in-depth series by GAY.com Entertainment Editor Jenny Stewart, we learn that Stern is not only pro-gay, but that he’s having a hugely positive impact on his millions of straight listeners by discussing gay topics and interviewing gay guests on a regular basis.

"When I chose to write this series about Stern, I knew it would be considered controversial in the gay community," said Stewart. "What I didn’t know was that there were so many gay Howard Stern fans! Read the comments on the feature, and you'll see that Gay.com members are 'outing' themselves as gay fans of Howard -- and many more have written to thank me for doing the feature. The response has been groundbreaking, if you ask me."
