Queerty: Reddit And Wept

Why does Queerty keep posting these rocking horse crap stories from Reddit?

Note how their readers point out they're clearly bolox.

Gay journalism!

Queerty: Holes

Queerty has gone back to running the most ludicrous stories they can find on Reddit.

Both these stories - 'heart-warming', 'adorable' sentimental vomit, natch - have more holes in them than a can of spaghetti hoops.

I'm really not sure if the journalists are completely thick, will run any old nonsense to fill a space. or if they have nothing but contempt for their readers.

Probably a bit of all three, eh?

Further proof that the only 'qualifications' you really need to be a gay journalist are to be easily pleased and easily deceived.

Worst Nightmare and Pouch Problems

Queerty has lifted both these stories from Reddit; a site where anyone can post any old nonsense.

Though possible, neither sounds remotely plausible - for reasons, once again, it is left to their less gullible readers to point out.

Gay journalism?  

Beats workin'!

Reddit On Queerty: Filler Queens

Anyone else thrilled by Queerty's new way of filling space - trawling Reddit for gay-related problems, and inviting readers to respond?

Gay journalism - beats working!

PS As they're on Reddit it's hard to know if they're true or made-up, but when's that ever been a problem for the pink press?

Reddit: #DickPics4Freedom

You can thank Edward Snowden for the recent flood of erect penis pictures currently filling up the ‘DickPics4Freedom‘ thread on Reddit.

The x-rated act of protest was inspired by John Oliver’s sit-down interview with Snowden, who shed light on the U.S. government’s secret surveillance program which is definitely spying on your private pictures, including all the dick pics you’ve been sending to people.

How Not To React When Your Child Tells You That He's Gay: Really Awful

Since this video was posted on YouTube on Wednesday it has, as they say, gone viral.
Over 750,000 views now and counting.
Every gay website and blog I've seen today has run it.
It shows an American Christian mom disowning her 19/20 year-old son, Daniel, because he's gay, telling him to move out of their home, and then his dad appears and attacks him.
It originally appeared on Reddit, posted by Rythymnight who says he is Daniel's boyfriend.
It's awful.
Really awful
It's also awful that there have been so many anti-gay horror stories in the gay media recently that have turned out to be hoaxes, I wondered if this one was really real.
I've recorded a dozen of these that have been run as fact and then corrected as fictions, everything from faked 'gaybashings' to teen suicides that never actually happened.
Hard to believe some (gay) people are so sick.
This one does look real, and not staged, but why was the boy filming all of it, why was he filming it in the first place, why don't we see anyone's face, and if his mother says she's known Daniel was gay since he was a little boy why is she only turning against him now?
I feel pretty shitty for being sceptical about this - things like this certainly happen - but can you blame me with the gay media's past record?

Update: The Advocate claim to have been in contact with an aunt of Daniel's who confirms the video's authenticity.

Update 2: And here's Daniel Pierce's Facebook page.
