I have a favor to ask. Some will think it is frivolous

[OKNancy]

and some will think it is a nice thing to do.

There is a fantastic contestant on the TV show Big Brother.
I would like for the GLBT to get behind him and vote for him in the online poll.
The winner gets $25,000

His name is Ragan Fox.

Here is a cut and paste from a wiki article
Ragan Cooper Fox (born May 9, 1976 in Houston, Texas) is a gay poet and performance artist who is an assistant professor of communication at California State University, Long Beach. He received a B.S. and an M.A. (2001) from the University of Texas at Austin and a Ph.D. (2006) from Arizona State University.
He is the host of the podcast Fox and the City, which was heard weekly on Sirius Radio 103. Genre called Fox and the City a "huge hit", and Out has declared Fox as one of the "gays leading the way in online media's next big thing".

Here is a poetry slam he did... very moving about his father's death

Finally... he got a lot of criticism for slamming Fox, Palin and the tea party.

Ragan - the last one

You can vote as many times as you want. Please pass this on. Once, just once, I'd like a gay man to win something on one of these shows!!
Oh, and it will piss off a lot of prudes too.

Happy to help out. I don't watch the show myself (frankly, I have better things to do, no insult to "Big Brother" fans intended), but Ragan sounds like a good guy. Plus, I like helping out another member of the community. :-)
