Have you heard the story about the queer king….
who was always at his wit’s end? ;-)

HUGE WELCOME FROM CANADA!

I’m fairly new to this site and to this world, but you seem to be a perfect fit here. Keep up the already great work!

Yes, I know commas do sometimes go outside of quotation marks, but it’s not as often as when they go inside. I figured if Japhy had a style manual, he’d know when to do one or the other. I made the comment because he put commas on the wrong side of the quotation mark in this post.

imagine if the new editor was a black man and this comment read “oh…another black boy.”

the superficial judging and decision making based on looking at a picture of someone is enough to make me feel that there will never be progression with human relations.

yes, another white boy. AND?!

I enjoyed your self introduction. I too like to canyoneer and hike. I’m not mentioning this for some sophomoric need to assert how “masculine” I am, but simply because it is fun for me. What’s with all these gay men who constantly have to attack fellow gays if they enjoy sports and physical activity other than working out at the gym?

What is the name of your documentary? Such a concept sounds very innovative. It is satisfying to know there are gay filmmakers who can objectively produce something other than documentaries on porn and circuit parties. Additionally, it is also nice that you are willing to choose subjects other than gay issues. Nothing is more attractive to me than a man who can carry a conversation broaching a wide range of matters and not just solely gay concerns. It shows that you are well rounded. Not that I don’t believe gay topics are unimportant, because they are. It seems pretty blatantly obvious how important these issues are to Japhy by what he is providing for us here, and at “Out” and at “The Advocate.” I for one am thankful that Queerty’s new editor is a man who can speak to anything in an intelligent and objective fashion.

One last comment on your introduction. I had no idea that you were “another fucked up gay Mormon who can’t stand himself” as WHAT A CROCK posted. I could not find anywhere in your article where you mentioned you were like that or even gave that impression. You seem very witty, intelligent and well adjusted to me from what you have written. Maybe I’m just not looking hard enough for something to be hateful about.

Again, welcome Japhy. I hope your tenure at Queerty is all you would like it to be.

You guys are right, this guy’s a douchebag.

White people aren’t allowed to have jobs anymore?

Lose the chip on your shoulder.

i have always enjoyed your blog posts on flaming politics – i welcome you to queerty and i look forward to your editorial management of the site! best wishes.

You son-of-a-b*tch. I MISSED YOU! Ok, you have to understand. I bitched at afterelton.com for not having you as one of their blogs in the heat of the moment. I was literally going to have a Japhy-driven fiending session. Aww, it’s soo great to see you again. Umm, so here’s my list of demands – we need more Indian boys on this site! Oh, and we can all agree – we need to see more of you. You are too cute to be hidden behind a screen!

GO JAPHY!!!

On a more serious note, in talking to my folks since Election Day, it’s become evident to me that the liberal side of the Baby Boomer generation considers this the “civil rights movement of our generation” as much as we do. See you at City Hall?

Funny you mention Utah and Coors, I go back to the early 1950s and learned to drink at 14 yo with my Mormon cousins in Salt Lake City…and it was Coors. Then my older brothers would stash Coors beer in the car back to our midwest home, because Coors wasn’t sold at home.

NEW EDITOR, ONE THAT SUPPORTS GAY RIGHTS, GIVE THIS MORMON HIS SPECIAL UNDIES AND PUT HIM BACK IN THE CLOSET!!!

it’s a good thing you like puppies, just saying

In other words, welcome from one of the many Canadians that read this blog. If I comment on something in the future I will try to not be a bitchy queen that accuses anyone of having “bad breath.” I mean what is up with that?

Again, welcome. You have the qualifications and the skill to do a fine job (and don’t let any of these bitches tell you otherwise).

I read this blog because the stories of interest, not the manner in which they are reported

JJ, next time you’re toilet trolling, take a closer look at the plumbing to learn the difference between a drain and a bowl.

As far as turds, how do you keep them out of the way while you’re drinking–do you use your hand, or just swish your head around?

And btw, Bitch Republic, commas sometimes DO go outside of quotation marks, it depends on the usage, please check your AP book before making comments like that.

Welcome aboard, bucky, lookin’ forward to your work!
