The gayest of the gay turned out last night for the NewNowNext awards.

Host Candis Cayne and Cindi Lauper made quite a duo, while Noah's Arc's Jensen Atwood cut an attractive rug, as usual. Christian Siriano and Jack Mackenroth of Project Runway were both in attendance, as was singer Leona Lewis, who won the Next International Crossover award. The rest of last night's winners, meanwhlie, can be viewed here.

The show airs on June 7th on Logo, which means that you (yes, you) can still vote online. Which you should, because democracy rules!

Holy homos! Logo-owned NewNowNext seems poised to explode all other awards shows!

The website just announced the nominees for its first annual eponymous awards show. And the categories are anything but straight, like "Most Guiltiest Pleasure," "The Kylie Award: Next International Crossover," the "Because You Deserve An Award" award and our personal favorite, "Totally Most Rad Sickest Blog Ever," for which we're honored to have been nominated! (You'll vote for us if you know what's good for you.)

Candis Cayne hosts the show, which airs June 7th, and Janet Jackson will make a special appearance to pick up the Always Next, Forever Now award.

This display - adorned by David Armstrong shot Tilda Swinton cover - ain't a sing-song calls for activism, but a closer look at the trans subculture's ins, outs and in-betweens. (See a larger version of the cover at the end of this post.)

Cooper did well with the magazine's trans-limited, admittedly "clumsy" staffers. For example, they've of ten "essential" trans titles, while Candis Cayne talks about trans life in the spotlight and Cooper himself takes a look at NYC's trans fags, including a boy whose biological origins got him booted from popular hook-up site, Adam4Adam.
