You silly gays keep asking for gay magazines to put gay people on the cover, and now you’re regretting it! Comes the obvious response from The Advocate: Love him or hate him, “there’s no denying” that this “faggot” blogger reaches people.

That’s a very interesting question as for years gay press has said that they can’t put people of color on the cover as it caused a drop in sales, I wonder if this bigot who happens to be gay will sell more magazines?

Who wants to bring a picture of Perez into their home?
While I relate to his anger, and I even use the word “Faggot” (appropriately, IMO), he was a gross human being before this incident, and a gross human being afterward.
And WHO still buys a magazine???????

It really is unfortunate, indeed tragic that people don’t read anymore; apart from the dissociated experience of the web.
I saw an article in the Atlantic about how relying on the web for information had extreme destuctive consequeces for peoples ability to reason and think in any ordered fashion. It’s true.
The obvious fact about Perez is that he’s a contentious person and, just because we don’t like him and he’s unfortunate looking, doesn’t mean it’s poor journalism to picture him.

I thought this was about putting pictures of gay human beings on magazine covers…

UGH! Get over it Queerty! Your long-term need to insult him using unnecessary slurs makes you no better.

“I saw an article in the Atlantic about how relying on the web for information had extreme destuctive consequeces for peoples ability to reason and think in any ordered fashion. It’s true.”
Um.. it’s true cuz you and the Atlantic said so? There is no causality that is obvious to me. They can be co-occurring phenomena, or something else altogether.
Magazines are a waste of paper and landfill. I buy a few on my Kindle, but that is it now.
Perez’ awfulness hasn’t much to do with his appearance. He is just sort of smarmy and yucky generally.

But this isn’t news…the comments over at The Advocate already started on the 6th…why only now queerty people/person…?
Anyway, why did I have to click on the classic Queerty page to find this classically queers hate queers but they love ’em story..

Gay people on the cover of gay magazines, yes. Giant bags of douche that happen to also be gay, no.

We can count great composers, directors, writers, musicians, actors, political thinkers, athletes, teachers – you name it as “family,” but instead they put an over-exposed obnoxious out-of-control gossip-monger on the cover and ask,”Why aren’t you happy?”
