Gay blog Queerty revived by GayCities

“More than five years after launching Queerty, and establishing what would become one of the most well-read and respected voices in LGBT media, I am pleased to see the site find a new home with GayCities….. For a moment it appeared Queerty would fall to the wayside, after a disagreement in strategy with the site’s contracted operators, who decided to change their business focus. The outpouring of support following that announcement showed just how much Queerty’s readers wanted the site to continue, and how it became an irreplaceable resource for so many.”

David Hauslib, founder of Queerty, using his “parting words” to help the recently revived news and gossip site get reestablished with its new owners at GayCities. The off-color but popular blog had shut down last month. (Queerty)
