You had heard all about the (ultimately successful) petition to bring back Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer's moustache, and, if you're like us, you might have thought, hey, as long as he's giving mustache rides to cheerleaders, all is pretty much fine.

But check it out: Jake Plummer is, inexplicably, starting to become a gay icon. Why? You guessed it: The mustache. Prominent gay bloggers are picking up on the "pornstache," and even putting together greatly amusing photo montages of Plummer in various states of pseudo-gaydom.

Jake Plummer, in the span of a year, has gone from an erratic guy who sometimes throws with his lift hand into an MVP candidate, an anti-war protestor and a potential gay icon. God bless America, ya know?
