Remember when we told you that a young William Shatner once found himself in New York and in the sights of a hot-blooded homo?

Well, a reader sent us this picture as a bit of a follow-up. Now we're passing it on to you, because everyone needs to see Captain Kirk holding what appears to be a giant foam penis.

Send it to a friend in need of a laugh. Or don't. It's really up to you…

Oh, to be young in post-war New York! William Shatner certainly got that experience - and ended up nearly having a close encounter of the queer kind after moving here to become an actor:

I was wandering around Times Square and this guy says, 'I'm going to Radio City Music Hall, would you like to come?' And I said, 'Oh, yes' - [I thought] wow, New York is everything I heard it was going to be! We're in the audience, I'm a young hot-blooded Canadian and out come the dancing girls, a plethora of women - and I feel his hand brush my knee. I thought, well, it's an accident, then I felt it again. What the [bleep]? I got up and ran out.

We knew the punchline as soon as we saw "Times Square" and "this guy." Killer combination…

You either love or hate Chris Matthews (pictured, younger). There's really no middle ground with this MSNBC newsman. Some complain that he's too smug. Other's find him disinterested. We, for the record, love him. First of all, he's cute. Second of all, he talks gay all the time, like last night, when he addressed our nation's comedic obsession with Larry Craig and bathroom cruisers.

Matthews first brings up a talking Craig doll and then offered a clip of Boston Legal's James Spader defending William Shatner in a lewd conduct arrest. Says Spader: "We‘re actually sitting in a courtroom wasting tax dollars because my client had gas. He was constipated."

From there Matthews veers toward that George Clooney/Brad Pitt toe-tapping send-up and ends his brief segment with this:

Isn‘t it great how we Americans can laugh at—even at the most desperate of human acts?

My own response to the Craig story is to side with gay marriage. If we don‘t respect people, how do we expect them to respect themselves? Anyway, that‘s just my reaction.

And that's exactly why we love you, blondie.

Yesterday’s So Gay! list was all about the big screen. Today we look at the small screen and why the year in television was So Gay!

5. Boston Legal. Boston Legal may just be the funniest show on TV. It is well written, smart, and has an all-star, hilarious ensemble cast. It is the relationship between two straight men that makes the show so gay. William Shatner and James Spader share the same bed, bicker, and even dressed as matching pink flamingos for Halloween. It is the perfect gay relationship, except they don’t have sex.

4. Commander In Chief. A woman moves into the Oval Office and kicks ass in Washington. The Gays were down from the beginning, especially since we’ve long loved Geena Davis. However it was the plotline about Special Assistant to the President Vince Taylor (Anthony Azizi) that really made us fans. In one episode it was revealed he was HIV+ and gay. The storyline was handled with respect and we only wish Mack was in Bush’s place.

3. Project Runway. There are so many gays on the new Project Runway that we cannot keep count. These ladies would, at times, make both Jay McCarroll and Austin Scarlett look butch. Queens and dresses and Michael Kors oh my! Another hit season is off the ground and running.

2. Desperate Housewives. Though the ladies of Wisteria Lane are hetero, you can’t get campier than Desperate Housewives. A gay subplot involving Bree’s son has us on edge. Jesse Metcalf is still hot, hot, hot. And Marcia Cross is still the best tranny on television. Don’t listen to the critics denouncing season two. These women are still one gay old time.

After the jump, the gayest thing on TV in 2005!
