The Washington Blade‘s nominations for the “2012 Best of Gay DC” are out and because you took a few quick minutes to make your voice heard, I’ve been nominated for “Best LGBT Television Personality.” Better still, with your help my good friend Christopher Massicotte has been nominated for “Most Committed Activist” and Maria Burns’ Salon DeZEN (my Bullfight Strategies business partner Eric Burns’ wife) has been nominated for “Best Spa/Salon.” Lane Hudson and Adam Ebbin have also been nominated for “Our Local Hero.”

Now we need you to help us cross the finish line by voting today. You can cast your vote using each of your email addresses DAILY through Wednesday, September 5th. 

• Karl Frisch for “Best LGBT television personality”
• Christopher Massicotte for “Most committed activist”
• Salon DeZEN for “Best spa/salon”
• Lane Hudson or Adam Ebbin for “Our local hero”

Once you’ve voted, be sure to encourage your friends to do the same on Facebook and Twitter. The more people we have standing with us, the more likely we are to succeed. And no, you don’t have to be LGBT to cast your vote — allies are quite welcome.
