Every day here at Queerty Central (currently a Starbucks on the corner of 8th and 17th in Manhattan) we ask ourselves, “What the hell do you people want?” And every day we watch with a mixture of amazement and fascination as you, Our Beloved Readers, glob onto an item we thought we rushed while long, reasoned treatises on the subtler aspects of faggotry go ignored. Queerty readers are a collective cyber-consciousness that captures the pulse of the gay community, and we decided to have a peek under the hood to see exactly what this big gay meta-brain thinks about all day long.
Below are the top 10 most popular posts of 2008. This post answers the question, “What the hell do you people want?” with a pretty definitive answer: “Dick, please.”

Gotta give props to my predecessor Andrew for digging up dirt on homophobe Sally Kearns’ son Jesse. The dirt being that he’s probably gay.

This is where we would usually say something snarky, but there’s nothing funny about a mother’s bigotry ruining her son’s life.
Even though it’s suffering from massive shrinkage, you still wanna see.
