After hundreds of thousands of votes, Roger, the brazen intergalactic disguise-yielding space alien from American Dad, has been crowned "Gayest Cartoon Character of All Time" in Logo TV's first-ever competition for pop culture fans.

"I'd like to thank everyone that voted for me. And I'd like to personally thank every MAN who voted for me...Tonight. Within a twelve mile radius," said Roger. The path to victory wasn't easy for Roger, as four grueling matchups pitted him head-to-head against Captain Planet, Peppermint Patty/Marcie (Peanuts), Vanity Smurf and ultimately Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune (Sailor Moon) in the final round. The bracket style completion featured an eclectic mix of current and classic cartoon characters, including some out-and-proud toons ("South Park's" Big Gay Al), some who've definitely made you wonder over the years (like "Scooby Doo's" Velma or MTV's Daria). The full tournament results can be found at: TheBacklot.com/bracket/gayest_cartoon_tournament/2014/

Stonewall National Museum & Archives - Movie Night for the month of April presents "Queen Christina" at the Stonewall Library & ArtServe Auditorium at 7 pm (1300 East Sunrise Boulevard) on Thursday, April 24. Gather at Stonewall for light refreshments before the movie. Queen Christina is a 1933 Pre-Hayes Code film starring Greta Garbo and John Gilbert. With the ambiguous sexuality, tragic aloofness and boyish playfulness that made her a legend, Garbo (both bisexual and Swedish herself) delivers a commanding and highly comic performance as the eccentric, cross dressing, Queen Christina of Sweden. Directed by Rouben Mamoulian. 97 minutes.
