What have stereotypical cheesecake shots got to do with gay rights? These shots simply pander to the sleazy straight guy fantasy of what a woman should look like. We in the gay community should be refuting these images, not promoting them.
Straight guys want a world in which females wear little clothing and are bisexual for the benefit of their threesomes. We need to tell these straight guys to fuck off along with their female enablers.
Jason, those us who appreciate beautiful women might appreciate these photos. If you were bi, you’d understand that some men might like different types of women.
You rant on every post imaginable about how wonderfully BI you are and now you don’t like to see a woman here because she’s not representative of gay rights. Do we know the sexual orientation of the all the males portrayed here. Nope!
Do we care? i won’t speak for others, but it’s not important to me.
As a lesbian, I’m vaguely appreciative of this, cheescake as it may be, if only because Queerty is recognizing that it has female readers and bi male readers.
However, since most of the internet is already saturated with pictures of hot chicks (albeit, chicks deemed hot by the omnipresent male gaze rather than by lesbians), I can see why your male photo spreads have been around way longer.
Personally, I’ve never gone for the stick-skinny, fake-tanned, seductively-gazing type.
I just loving all the ladies I’ve been seeing here. It was really great Queerty decision. I feel proud – like seeing my kid ride without his training wheels for the first time …..
@Token Lesbian Queerty Reader: I’m the guy who puts these together. If you’re really interested in having a lesbian help choose content, how about you contact the editor to help pitch stories? Also, I’m more than willing to explore whichever ladies you’d like to present here, if you’ll suggest a source.
Ok, I’m gonna start this up with disclaimer that I, in no way, find this photo spread to be all that offensive. It’s simply not my cup of tea, but for those of you who do like it, then yay.
However, I’ve never gotten the impression that Queerty is all inclusive, but has/is a predominantly gay male gossip ra. . . um, I mean news blog. I happen to read a whole bunch of blogs, and if this was a predominantly lesbian blog, or a more feminist blog, even someone bringing up the idea of adding ANYTHING to appeal to the male/gay readers would be shot down with screams of male privilege and patriarchy and sexualization, blah blah blah.
As it stands, I can’t tell if Queerty should be commended for trying to appeal to all it’s readers or chastizing those of you who seems to feel that Queerty should pander to you, even if you aren’t it’s main audience.
Everyone here is missing the entire purpose of this post! It’s obvious Daniel is making a social statement; Boobs make people not notice that they just read the most god-awful pun they will EVER read. Ever.
Where’s the curves? She has a pretty face, but I like em a little fuller in the butt area, even the guy models on this site have more ass than that. But, I’d still hit it.

Is this to appeal to the lesbian followers of Queerty? I forgot how male dominated the gay community is.
Wow! Thank God I’m bi! :)
Love pic no:3 Not crazy about her tats. She does have a pretty face though.

@jason:
Umm, hello?!? Lesbians?! Lesbians are straight men trapped in womens’ bodies.
Try being less hypocritical and more observant.

I hope our Queerty women chime in.
I still liked the Farah photos best, so far!
nope. still gay.
@james p. p.: LOL– d’ya mean her, you, Jason, me, the model, the photog or other people?
The lighting was very nicely done!

wtf
it`s to lure in more lesbians and staright guys who might also read the articles…Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone use stars to this effect all the time…
If Queerty wants to appeal to queer women, how about getting a queer woman to choose content. This is just not appealing to me at all.
@Token Lesbian Queerty Reader: Good point.
I think she is pretty :-)
I hope we can feature more queer femme and other types of beauty as well.
Way to go Queerty
Good Lord, she’s amazing! My bi-side is thoroughly satisfied now.

I love the tatoos, but I don’t know about her otherwise. Esp number one. The gaze makes her look stupid.
Is this a “study her look for your next drag performance” kind of thing?

Seriously, stop. Just…please. >_<

i like her. i’ve seen better here, though.
@Daniel: Well, at least Queerty is making the effort. I requested pics that appeal to gay girls and suggested http://fuckyeahdykes.tumblr.com/ for ideas awhile back. Also check: http://www.tophotbutches.com/ (a project by Sinclair Sexsmith).
Why don’t you show pictures of beautiful women (instead of 5$ crack ho’s whose bruises are covered with 2 gallons of makeup)?
(and by beautiful, I don’t mean butchiful)
