Overlooked

Queer stuff, Toronto

I see that blogs are being mentioned around Toronto media lately. eye magazine did a good article about CityBlogs, mentioning photojunkie and Better Living Centre. Congratz!

After that, I got to wondering why the gay community hasn’t latched onto the whole blog thing. Are we too private? Do we not “share” enough? I read somewhere that gay men were more web-savvy than most het men but yet don’t confess their geekdom. Why hasn’t XTRA or fab done an article about prominent queer blogs? I link to two really good gay Toronto bloggers on my roll (right side, down a bit). Curious, thought provoking and always a good read.

I’d love to do something similar to BlogJamDC’s night where a select few bloggers get up and read their favorite entries. I was thinking putting a Bear slant on it (since there seems to be only two types of gay bloggers: twinks and bears) and mix in some beer. But note the mix of bloggers at BlogJam: Conservative bear, bare backer, sporty, ex-party queens. Which would make for a great evening.
