The Top 15 Gay(ish) Blogs

Gays are everywhere. Want proof? Politics (Signorile.com), pop culture (PerezHilton.com), and something for everyone (TowleRoad.com), The Advocate tracks down the 15 best gay(ish) blogs online.


The gays are everywhere. Want proof? Head to the Web. Gay and gay-inclusive blogs are popping up everywhere, and with a Democrat in the White House and marriage sweeping New England, expect the World Wide Web to keep leaning liberal.

But what are the must-read gay(ish) blogs? The Advocate counts them down for you, in no particular order.

AmericaBlog.com: AmericaBlog serves up liberal news and opinion about U.S. politics, because, as the masthead declares, "a great nation deserves the truth." The blog was created in 2004 by attorney and staunch LGBT activist John Aravosis, who once led a boycott of Dr. Laura after she called homosexuality a "biological error."

Gawker.com: Did Gawker invent snark or merely perfect it? Covering a swath from D.C. to NYC to Hollywood, this blog gathers celebrity blind items ("Which Secretly-Gay Summer Movie Star Has Size Issues?") and turns its jaundiced eye firmly on talk TV ("Martha Stewart Foists Grotesque Cupcakes on Beleaguered Nation"), politics ("Finally, Someone Brave Enough to Call Sonia Sotomayor 'J-Lo'"), and regular news about homos ("Is Bruno Good for the Gays?"). Add in the meanest/cleverest commenters online, and it's a living version of the old saw -- "If you don't have something nice to say, come sit by me."

DListed.com: Whether he's calling Cynthia Nixon's other half Rojo Caliente or stirring up trouble between Demi Moore and Marie Osmond, few people "report" pop culture like DListed's Michael K. With a love of all thinks lesbian, Salma Hayek, or just plain filthy, DListed's deliciously smart yet altogether inappropriate approach brings a much-needed gay bent to Hollywood gossip.

    Slog The Stranger's Dan Savage is occasionally entertaining but his intense biphobia is extremely offputting. But then I guess The Advocate is talking about Gay(ish) blogs, not GLBT blogs. Maybe The Advocate can feature a few LBT blogs next time.

    I love MK's DLISTED! His commentary is hilarious, without being vicious. His is the only website to make me laugh out loud. Love you Michael K!

    Michael K from DLISTED is HILARIOUS. I used to be anti-homosexuals until I came across Michael's website. He's made me a better person.

    No self respecting gay man EVER visits Perez Hilton. You truly are out of touch with the community you claim to advocate for. Perez is a delusional, narcissistic, self promoting idiot who doesn't realize the world is over him (or at least the extremely small part who ever realized he existed).
