Gossip Blog Launches Queer Blog

Celebrity blog Jossip publisher David Hauslaib has launched Queerty, a blog about all things queer. It’s written by blog superstar Bradford Shellhammer of pre-blogging blog fame and published by Hauslaib.

Hauslaib, who, writing in the launch announcement says he’d “feel luckier than Michael Phelps’ Speedo if he could snag a mention in your magazine, newspaper, blog, dinner conversation or mental dialogue,” promises the blog will focus on fashion and style, entertainment and celebrity, news and politics, relationships and sex — and “any other really, really gay topic we (or you, our readers) can come up with.” Lest Adrants be accused of changing teams, there’s an advertising angle here as well. Hauslaib says, “Queerty puts advertisers in touch with this affluent demographic, which has long been abandoned by mainstream blog publishers.”

With the launch of Queerty, Hauslaib can now officially hang with the big boys of blog publishing, Denton and Calacanis.

My adult son called last Sunday and talked for forty minutes about his promotion and his new house and his kids and then said “anyway how are you dad” with ninety seconds left in the call — and I said “I’m good” because what else do you say when you realize you’ve become the commercial break in your own child’s life
