Gay people are mad at Out owner Paul Colichman for saying he won't endorse Barack Obama. Neal Boulton, who works for rival Genre, said, "By tearing up his check for Obama, he basically wrote one to McCain." Boulton doesn't really care, of course – he just wanted his name in an item about Barack Obama. [NY Post]

Neal Boulton can't even decide what team he plays on, so how's he gonna endorse only one candidate?
PAUL Colichman, whom the NYPost described as the William Randolph Hearst of
gay media said in their article that although he was an ardent Hillary
supporter he recently decided to support Obama. He states
"I thought, 'Get over yourself!' I had literally written out a check
to the Obama campaign. And then I saw him in front of an evangelical
group in Anaheim," he said.
"Before Rick Warren at the Saddleback Civil Forum, both Obama and
McCain defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman."
"I thought, 'Wow! He just threw the gay community under the bus,' "
Colichman said. "My partner looked over at me, and we tore up the
check."
……..
To say I find Mr. Colichman's supposed upset at Obama's statements
disingenuous would be an understatement. During Hillary's husband's
administration, Hillary supported the Defense of Marriage Act, a law
preventing the federal recognition of same-sex marriage. She told the Daily News…
"Marriage has got historic, religious and moral content that goes back
to the beginning of time, and I think a marriage is as a marriage
always has been, between a man and a woman." So
do I wish that the candidates were more supportive of gay marraige publicly?
Certainly, Do I think that you can say that Hillary Clinton is any
more supportive of it than Obama? Absolutly not, and using that as an
excuse for supporting Clinton over Obama shows that you are not paying
attention. For somebody like Mr Colichman who owns pretty much every
gay magazine in the country and should be aware of such things, I
find that incredibly disturbing and can only hope that his reporters
are more in touch than he is. And for him to come out and lambast the Dem nominee in a paper that supports Mccain shows us that his real motivation is to wound the Obama campaign and try to prepare the way for Hillary to run in 4 years.
And everyone needs to choose a team? "You," you sound like a prick Jamaican I had the misfortune to be outed to.
Well said, Cam. I couldn't agree more.
Not everyone has to drink the Kool-Aid and support the messiah… I mean Obama.
GO TEAM OBAMA!

I don't find this funny in the least. For those of you who do not support Obama, I will say to you what I said to Mr. Colichman. I hope you sleep well at night when McCain is elected!
I have cancelled my subscriptions to his periodicals. I suggest anyone with a subscription to either OUT or The Advocate do the same. This guy needs to known as the FORMER "William Randolph Hearst of gay media". He needs to be known as that dumbass who spouted off one too many times (we won't go into his supposed sexual orientation).
Tell him where to get off, where it hurts.
