Is Yahoo! working for the right-wing. Maybe not, but the internet company this weekend ran what appears as "news" piece decrying a San Francisco schools' decision to take a first-grade class to their teacher's same-sex wedding opens with quite the anti-gay bang…

When Orbitz first launched its specialized gay travel section a few years ago, we were delighted to see even us "outcasts" were being welcomed into corporate America. And now Yahoo, the search behemoth, is making a move that just might steer us away from Google for a few days. The Sunnyvale, Calif. company just launched a Gay Pride microsite, bringing together Flickr-powered photos, Upcoming.org-powered events listings, dating, and custom answers to any questions you might have.

All of this just in time for Los Angeles Pride, which kicks off in West Hollywood Park. Well, the parade begins there, but the partying will certainly begin in full force at The Abbey. Naturally, we want your photos, so bring your Nikon along with you and keep our email address close.

And whatever you decide to wear to Pride, it might be wise to remember which stores aren't welcoming your cash.

We refuse to utter that horrible "B" word around here. You know, "blogosphere." But we were compelled to list some of the gayest things in the world of blogs from 2005. There were many, but these take the big, pink, wedding cake.

5. Towleroad Does Brokeback. We don’t care if anyone tires of Andy Towle’s Brokeback Mountain coverage. We think it is just the reason why blogs kick butt. He has been meticulous in his coverage and we are certain more than one person in the “real” media has used his site as a resource.

4. Logo Does Blogs. Logo, the MTV gay network, actually made television personalities out of gay bloggers this year. Bloggers on TV? We know, a scary thought. But Andy, Perez, the Malcontent, and even our very own Bradford all snagged a spot. Now if we only knew who had the highest ratings.

3. Jossip Does Queerty. We know we already said we were the Coming Out story of the year, but this is our list and we’ll do what we want with it. Yes, we deserve to be on the So Gay! 2005 list of Blogs because, well, because we say so. The Internet got a little gayer this year. We take full responsibility.

2. Yahoo Does Gawker. Yahoo made it clear that it believes in the importance of blogs when it struck a deal this year with Nick Denton’s Gawker Media. The deal sees Gawker content on Yahoo News. A bit short of the Weblogs Inc./AOL merger, it still makes us smile Cheshire smiles. The thought of Gawker’s content appearing on mainstream news channels is hilarious.

And now the #1 gay blog event of the year after the jump.
