When we posted this morning essentially declaring it open season at Queerty on tips, gossip and gay scandal, we should have known that the first nasty bit of insider filth we'd receive would be from a disgruntled ex-employee of a gay rag we used to work at here in New York. We also shouldn't have been surprised to find that the second "anonymous" tip we were sent was from a former employee of the other mag we used to call hell away from home.
Both messages were filled with all sorts of nastiness and calls for us to "finally tell it like it is" in with all array of accompanying profanity. One e-mail also contained a hilarious attachment of a photo Next Magazine's Associate Publisher would probably rather forget, and after a little prying we were able to get our hands on an equally hilarious photo of the office of HX's Editor-in-Chief Brandon Voss (who's not even in the photo—though he'd probably just as soon not have HX Magazine's readers aware of his Paris Hilton obsession). We figured why bother with profanity when a picture says so much more?
Both photos after the jump!
Jeff Woodward looks the very picture of innocence, doesn't he? And this photo of Brandon Voss' cubicle—or "office" as it was presented just epitomizes "the gay editor of today," doesn't it?
Keep those tips coming, Queerty! (Anonymity guaranteed!)

Put your ad here
If the gay boys actually saw who owns or runs these RAGS...well then again they read Perez Hilton too, if you catch my drift.
But if you di-int, the nightlife column in one of them is written by two out of shape and non-descript hangers-on who would never get invited anywhere if they didn't write their "guess what you missed" social column.
The other RAG is nothing more than ad for all the various business the owner has a piece of (bathhouses, escort services, restaurants...).
If the "pretty boys" only knew that they were following the social dictates of trolls and creeps.
how about a picture of your new digs Queerty? Didn't you guys just get a new office?
qJersey,
Well we all can't be pretty like you.
i don't know why i'm even bothering responding, but Jersey, you obviously don't know who writes the gossip page at HX. Especially on my watch. It's not two people but a tidy little fleet of nightlife regulars. But I'm actually the main person involved with that column, and I don't think I'm all that bad! Anyway, long before I took over there was a random guy who went to parties who maybe wasn't the most presentable sort, but he got in everywhere and told everyone he wrote for us. When my predecessors found out that he was misrepresenting the mag, we stopped accepting gossip from him. But I don't know who it is you still think write the rag. Anyway, sorry to hear you're not a fan. And as for my Paris obsession, it's all in good fun, but I'm not ashamed of something silly like that. My wall's totally hot.
