Some New Newsome

James — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 11:00:11 +0000

Gavin Newsome the sexiest, STR8, Gay Marriage Advocating Mayor of San Francisco, and bona fide HUNK has been chosen to serve as Political Grand Marshal at the Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride Parade this year. *swooooon* (Okay I admit I have a BIT of a “crush”)

Newsome is revered by gay-marriage advocates who see him as a civil rights advocate. The San Francisco mayor started the public debate on the issue after 36 days as Mayor in 2003, when he granted marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The following year, the state Supreme Court annulled the unions. Gavin, if I may call him by his first name, is a Democrat, is expected to run for Governor of CA in 2010.

Dawn of a Newt Age

“Has the man whose political action committee once circulated a memo urging Republicans to call Democrats “sick,” “pathetic,” “corrupt,” “selfish,” “bizarre,” and “traitors” who “lie” and “betray” truly found another way? Not exactly. Commenting on protests against California’s anti-gay-marriage amendment Proposition 8, he told Bill O’Reilly, “There is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us.” And he and his third wife (the woman with whom he had an extramarital affair during the Clinton impeachment) recently produced a movie aiming to expose the “relentless effort” of the “secular Left” to “drive God out of America’s public square.”

DNC Pisses Off Bilerico Blog

When the DNC denied “The Bilerico Project” credentials for the convention, but awarded to Towleroad, Bil Browning was anything but pleased. Bil thinks that Towleroad is a bit uppity in comparison to his own site.
Here is the gist of his complaint…

Towleroad is not known for racial diversity, trans inclusion, or its lesbian audience. It is a site for wealthy gay white men – the HRC demographic. Their advertising info reads “News. Entertainment. Gossip. Media. Art. Life. Most Unique Users: 500,000; 95% male; 85% US; 52% earn $75,000+; 40% earn $100,000+” Where was “politics” in that description? Did they pick up on the lack of women? What about the lack of average American salaries? Towleroad’s readers’ average salary is almost double the median annual household income. Household. Not one person.

Looks like some of the other blogs that picked this story up also have some opinions on the matter. This comment on Queerty cracked us up…

Don’t forget the other M on Towleroad, Mario Lopez. Everytime he shits he is on there lol.

We’ll leave the judging for someone else, but it is the story of the day it seems in gay political subculture.
