Queerty just fell off my blogroll...

By Ameriqueer
As of today I realized that the Merriam Webster dictionary just got a new definition of counterproductive, and that definition linked me smack in the middle of one of my former favorite websites, Queerty... While the men may be hot, the politics smell funny. Queerty enjoys being instigators of controversy, rather than part of the solution. I may say some off the wall things in Ameriqueer, but you can shoot me between the eyes with a concealed weapon in church (its legal in Illinois) if I EVER do something to intentionally set back the LGBT community just for readership. I really mean that. I, of course like ALL BLOGS, want more readers to read this, but I also want to have equal rights, which seems to be more than the Queerty editors want--by posting as much counterproductive and anti-movement stuff they can get their hands on.

If you're a regular Queerty reader, you've probably fallen into the wrong URL, I'm sorry to say. The boys are pretty, but the brains are not. If you belong there, I suggest you unsubscribe from my site quickly and pretend this never happened. Because I'd rather be talking to an empty room then EVER be in cahoots with an entity that is working against our equality.

Queerty are the queen conspiracy theorists in our community. If you enjoy Ameriqueer, you enjoy many diverse viewpoints--but I'm proud to announce I will NO LONGER be linking to Queery EVER EVER EVER (as Bernice and Mitzy would say and Queerty would likely ban me from saying) again.

By the way, Queerty, You can feel free to bash this site and its readers now. I DON'T HATE quite like you do, so therefore, probably don't fall into line with your view of the (white suburban) gay community. So sorry to interrupt. You can get back to your counterproductive hatred now! So sorry there's just about noone left to listen to you hate!

I'm not a regular queerty reader, but I have followed a few links over there in the past. I was a bit mystified by this post, and even went over to queerty and I didn't really see anything terribly offensive.

I hope you can enlighten me as to what they posted which could be described as "counterproductive and anti-movement."

I'd be very interested to know . . .

In anti-gay attack, AIM falsely asserts "pedophile" Jennings was "teaching 14-year-old boys" about sexual practices | Media Matters for America

By Ameriqueer
In anti-gay attack, AIM falsely asserts "pedophile" Jennings was "teaching 14-year-old boys" about sexual practices | Media Matters for America : "In attacking the media for allegedly insufficient coverage of Obama administration official Kevin Jennings, a blogger for Accuracy in Media, which purports to 'set the record straight on important issues that have received slanted coverage' -- and which has a record of antagonism toward gays -- smeared Jennings as a 'pedophile' and falsely claimed that '[v]ideos have surfaced of Jennings teaching 14-year-old boys the dangerous sexual practice of 'fisting,' and discussing with them the particulars of oral sex.' In fact, Jennings did not conduct that seminar and, in fact, reportedly criticized it when he became aware of its content." AIM is a crock. They're nothing more than Republican mouthpieces.

NEW BILERICO GUEST POST: What the GLAAD Network Report Means

By Ameriqueer
MY NEWEST CONTRIBUTION TO BILERICO; PLEASE VISIT BILERICO.COM FOR THE ENTIRE POST! Yesterday, GLAAD released its Network Responsibility Index report for 2009, ranking the top broadcast and cable networks on their LGBT inclusivity in programming. ABC led the broadcast networks this year with depictions like Ugly Betty 's gay Ken-doll Marc, played by Michael Urie, among other depictions on other shows. HBO led the cable networks with shows like gay-created True Blood , No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency , and Big Love ; with over 42% of programming being LGBT inclusive. We're not surprised that there were so many cable networks that ranked high on the index; #2 Showtime's programming consisted of 24% LGBT-inclusive programming, #3 TNT dedicated 19% of its hours to LGBT-inclusive content, #4 MTV 17% (really, only 17?), and #5 Lifetime—the in-denial fourth gay network—had 14%. This was all while the Network's rankings topped out at ABC's 24% and went down from there to C
