Matt Drudge and his Drudge Report may catapult stories into the spotlight, but the conservative blogger prefers the shadows. And, as such a secretive man, has courted queer speculation:

In high school, Drudge was already in a gay scene, dating men, Jeannette Walls reported in her book Dish. And in his memoir, Blinded by the Right, the conservative-turned-liberal David Brock – who is gay – described Drudge coming on to him sexually in 1997, including e-mailing Brock the suggestion that they be “f*** buddies”.

Michelangelo Signorile, a journalist who has broken down many a closet door, describes Drudge as “a nasty faggot”.

Drudge has denied that he is gay. “I go to straight bars, I go to gay bars,” he has said.

Honestly, we've never thought about Drudge's sexuality. If we were forced to choose, though, we'd say he's neither hetero nor homo. He seems pretty asexual to us.
