Well after 5 years of race bating, misinformation, hateration, bitterness, Obama Drama and unsaturated foolishness, Queerty closes up shop.
The reasons are not so clear, but rumor has it that it was getting too costly to run (again, RUMOR). This site had many up and downs over the years, but I guess I was surprise to hear about its demise.
When I started blogging, I read Queerty regularly. I gave them credit for many pieces that I used for this blog. But once President Obama was elected, Queerty changed; or maybe I noticed the foolishness a lot more in their post.
I was shocked by the mess it stirred up on a regular basis. The tag lines sometimes didn't match the blog post and it seemed they were always looking for a fight. They would use bad assumptions to prove their ill-formed thoughts or post the wrong information. I found myself addressing their mess more than thanking them. In fact, you can see my history with Queerty through my blog posts.
Then, the readers or better yet, the ones who left comments. I saw some the most racist, vile and hateful stuff from the gay community. After awhile, I stop reading it all together. It felt like they were willing to go overboard to draw attention and it worked, but for the wrong reasons.
Queerty will be something we won't forget, but glad to see it go. The site was losing itself in its on hype and doing more harm than good. Deuces!
