Some New York-based bent blogs take center stage in this week’s Edge NY. Here’s what drag legend Lady Bunny says about the Big Apple’s big gay blogosphere: “The mainstream media is so full of lies and distortions that we need the unfiltered information which comes from some of these blogs” she said. “Unfortunately too many gay men have the body of Gods and the brains of 15-year-old school girls. So I try to mix in some politics with more entertainment-oriented posts to trick them into caring about issues other than Jennifer Aniston’s new hair style.” [Edge NY]

We know you New York-based kids are super cool, so we wanted to give you a heads up that Empire State Pride Agenda will be hosting a panel discussion called “Gays Gone Wired” next Tuesday. Head up to Therapy to hear David Mixner, Good As You’s Jeremy Hooper, Andres Duque of Blabbeando and - gasp! - our very own, queerly pictured Andrew Belonsky chat about the good, bad and ugly of gay blogs. Here are the details!

Washington DC’s LGBT center decided to join the blogosphere. If you’re from the DC area, in the DC area or want to read about people in the DC area, head on over to the ingeniously entitled The DC Center.

The Internet undoes another life. A gay Columbus, Ohio substitute teacher resigned after school officials found comments about a gay student on the teacher’s blog. An openly gay substitute teacher accused of talking about a student’s sexuality on his personal Web site has resigned in the wake of local media coverage that detailed his own sexual orientation and the blog’s contents.

Columbus, Ohio, school officials had been investigating possible student-privacy violations stemming from comments made on the blog of Jared Bollenbacher, 23, a substitute teacher at Columbus high schools and middle schools.

The blog entries on Bollenbacher’s site chronicle his classroom experiences, and one included crude references to student he thought might be gay… Bollenbacher tried to … Continued…

We knew when Confessions of a Bareback Top went underground, that the latex-less sexual predator would again rear his unprotected head. Well, that time has come.

On June 6th at 11:19PM, the anonymous fucker announced that he would soon be publishing a fresh post. A man of his word, he did. On Friday at 7:55pm, he published this sort-of-triumphant/sort-of-terrifying message:

You’ve been warned. Especially you, Gawker. If we were you, we’d be double wrapping out shit.

Michael Lucas knows you want to know every detail of his day. That’s why the ageless porn mogul posted a very special rundown of his actions on May 8th, 2007. It’s a pretty typical day. Lucas has breakfast with his boyfriend, runs his highly successful business and chats with a lovely German mag, EreXXXion. Nothing spectacular.

Until around the five o’clock mark. That’s when things got heavy…

Lane Hudson made history when he blew Mark Foley’s page loving lid. The Florida Congressman resigned and revealed his homo ways. The Republican party fell over itself trying to cover-up a cover-up. And the nation enrolled in collective therapy after reading Foley’s incriminating, cringe-worthy instant messages with under age boys. The virtual smoking gun.

No doubt the entire debacle would never have gone down had it not been for the internet and, of course, blogs. You may remember the whole drama started when Hudson posted those IMs on his anonymous blog, StopSexPredators. But Hudson’s just some gay dude, right? Right. Hudson proved himself to be a formidable political operative, all with the click … Continued…

What perfect timing! John Polly over at the Logo-backed (and, really, what isn’t?) just sent us the link to his interview with Lily Allen, the British popster we referenced in that last post and one of the top ten girls we’d bone. (We bet she’s a really tiger in bed.)

Polly doesn’t go quite so far. What a gentleman. Like a good homo-journo, he asks a few gay-themed questions. Allen rebukes a lesbian fantasy question, but does address homo-popster Mika. Well sort of: JP: A new artist who gay audiences here are freaking out about is Mika. Are you familiar with him?

LA: Um, wait one second… … Continued…

It seems Catholic League President Bill Donohue’s got a history of raising a public stink. Long before he terrorized “pro-gay” John Edwards bloggers Melissa McEwan and Amanda “Martyr” Marcotte, he got his kicks taking on another of the Church’s greatest enemies: Lipton Onion Dip.

No, we’re not shitting you. Apparently the company ran a print ad back in 2001 featuring a man lining up to Eucharist (you know, when people queque up for a bit of Jesus’ blood and body) with a bowl full of instant mix. The implication, of course, is that the man’s going to dip a bit of Jesus in his special sauce. Needless to say, this didn’t … Continued…

We don’t know how they did it, but new blog on the block Can O’ Whup-Ass somehow managed to get Rosie O’Donnell to contribute some of her patented poetics. You’ll have to head over to read the whole thing, but we’ve been authorized to share a bit of her very special sapphics: First things first: I’m sure you know
Things are rough on Rosie O
You’ve seen my reputation scarred
That movie where I played a ‘tard
The magazine of mine that tanked
My broadway show that stunk and sanked
Then that time I let it fly
That Clay’s a sissy on the sly
After that I angered folks
With my chinky China jokes
Next the feud with Donald Trump
(I’d love … Continued…

It’s a blessed day here at Queerty, for our very own Silly Monkey has finally found his/her true love: Silly Kitty.

We’re sure you’re wondering how that puerile primate landed such a pretty pussy, so we’ll tell you…

Less than a week after Catholic League president Bill Donohue called her an “anti-Catholic vulgar trash-talking bigot…” and Presidential hopeful John Edwards allowed her to keep her job, blogger Amanda Marcotte (pictured, blurry with too much lipstick) has resigned from the Edwards campaign.

It all started when Donohue and his cronies found some less-than-friendly comments about Catholics on Marcotte’s personal blog. Standing on his politically motivated pulpit, Donohue demanded justice be served against Marcotte and another “pro-gay” blogger, Melissa McEwan. In addition to taking on the Catholic Church, Marcotte also aimed at the GOP voters, writing, Voters who are motivated by misogyny, homophobia, and racism aren’t going to leave a racist, misogynist, homophobic party for one that is all those things but just less so. She’s obviously a clever girl.

• Kids these days! More and more kids are coming out during their teenage years. We wonder if Anna Nicole’s freshly orphaned daughter will be a little baby dyke…

• John Edwards grew a back bone and will not be firing the “pro-gay” bloggers. Of course, his actions won’t bring back our Anna Nicole…

• AIDS activist Victor Mooney plans on rowing across the Atlantic to raise awareness of the devastating disease. Anna Nicole would certainly approve.

• So that’s what Clint Eastwood has to say about Anna Nicole Smith (notice he doesn’t know her name).

• If Anna Nicole were a man (and alive), she’d definitely want to read JC … Continued…

By now you’ve heard about the John Edwards blog scandal. You know, the one in which he caved to Catholic conservative pressure and fired two bloggers who had been called “anti-Catholic vulgar trash-talking bigots” for comments they made before working for the Edwards campaign.

But, there’s another, gayer blog scandal in which you may have an interest…

We were just paying a visit to our super crush Kenneth Hill’s website, The Gayest Editor Ever and came across a somewhat disconcerting post entitled, “50 Gayest Things of All Time”. At first we thought Hill had compiled a list of his favorite things. Boy were we wrong. The list comes from a website called The Phat Phree.

Alongside the list of “gay things”, the chaps have included the so-called “The 50 Things That Make You Feel Like A Man”. So, what makes them feel like men? Well, in addition to what you see above (thanks for the image, Mr. Hill), they include “Driving driving drunk to work, … Continued…
