No Midnight Snackin!

Here at BestGayBlogs.com, we work hard to be a site where you can go to find features, of course, of the best gay blogs on the internet.  We bring you daily updates as well as other news that affects the LGBT community and its allies.  We also have a designated spot to bring out readers a “featured” video.

The video featured can be political or simply just for fun. The videos are chosen from YouTube and featured as entertainment for you, our loyal readers.  The videos aren’t always “gay” in nature, but we try hard to make sure it would be a video that would appeal to the LGBT community.

Recently, we featured a video we found posted on YouTube from a site called “Midnight Snackin”, which is produced by a guy named Pete Griffin. According to his YouTube page:

Welcome to Midnite Snackin people! My name is Pete Griffin and I’m just a regular guy who just happens to be stunningly attractive and can chew gum while walking…all at the same time.

I currently produce two shows on this page (Midnite Snackin News and Life of Pete) so check them out and tell me what you think.

Times are tough y’all, so hopefully my videos can put a smile on your face. Pete Out!

Evidently the “stunningly handsome” Pete wasn’t OK with his video being featured on a site with a gay readership, as the following email was sent to BestGayBlogs.com:

Yeah…could you take my blog down from your site. I’m a straight, heterosexual male and I don’t want my video prominently featured on your site.

-P.S. Griffin
Midnite Snackin News

So, the video was taken down, and a response to the email was sent which stated:

Yeah…I’ll take it down. But know I will be writing several features highlighting your homophobia.

Live and let live…life is better that way.

Your dislike of gay people displays your own insecurities.

Obviously unfamiliar with the laws that surround things people post on YouTube, Pete just had to reply with a threatening email which stated:

My lawyer will be contacting you shortly.

Take care,
Pete Griffin

To which the only logical reply was simply – “Bring it”!

So, I was beginning to think that not only is Pete Griffin a homophobic bigot, but he is perhaps a bit insecure with his sexuality as he felt the need to point out he was both “straight” and “heterosexual”. Is there a difference? Either way, it would appear he is homophobic, and willing to pay an attorney to fight for his right to be discriminatory and homophobic.

We really don’t like to accuse people of homophobia without making sure that really is the case (not that the email wasn’t proof enough) but after visiting his YouTube site (http://www.youtube.com/midnitesnackin) we found the following message he has prominently posted on his site’s front page:

Miss California, u are the shit, perez ur a faggot dumb fuck who thinks he can gudge a womans pagaent. ur gay, u have no biz. in the judges seat. and if u used ur fucking head, than maybe u would think about what u go say on ur little fucking webcam and bitch about other people when people could rash on u and ur sucky pink hair. just because miss california stuck up for what she beleived in, doesnt mean that u have to trash her, even though noone really cares what u say anyways. midnight news, keep comin with the stories.

So, the homophobic claim will stick. Of course he didn’t post the above comment on his site, but he left the post to be read and applauded by his homophobic following.

One thing I would like to point out, at the risk of pointing out the obvious, the person who left the above comment lacks just a bit when it comes to education…or perhaps doesn’t have spell check. Either way, “birds of a feather”?

So to reiterate, as asked, BestGayBlogs.com removed the video and replaced it with a much funnier one. But as a service to our loyal readers, we felt compelled to share with you that Pete Griffin is not an “ally” to the LGBT community, but rather a a “stunningly attractive” and “regular” homophobe.

The ironic part about all of this…the video I’m referring to was his take on the Gillette ad which instructs men on how to shave their “private” area!

Thanks for the honesty Grif! It’s great to know your friends, but even better to know your enemies!

Below is the video that was featured.
