13 Queer Blogs You Should Be Reading
Posted by Chris on 5 June, 2008
June is upon us and that means several things around here, it’s my parent’s 41st anniversary month, it’s my 38th birthday month and it’s gay pride month. I’m pretty sure that the parades and parties and concerts and flowing alcohol are for the pride celebrations instead of for my birthday, but I can’t be 100% sure.
It’s Thursday once again and that can mean only one thing, it’s time for the Thursday 13 list. In honor of gay pride month I’m going to make all my lists this month queer themed. It’s not often that I can stick to a long term goal like that, so we’ll just have to wait and see how well that works out. We’re off to a rocking good start with this list however. I present to you for your reading pleasure 13 Queer blogs that you should be reading along with me.
If you want to join in on the fun and hilarity that is known only as the Thursday 13 meme you just need to create a list and then head over to the Thursday 13 site and post your link. Come on, it’s fun and all the cool kids are doing it…
In no particular order here they are (no nsfw links included, though a couple push the envelope):
- Puntabulous ~ good dorky fun. Watch out for Evil Bunny and enjoy.
- Jestertunes ~ the fool who observes your lives, sings his songs, spins his yarns, and hopefully entertains.
- Spirit of Saint Lewis ~ a former male model and just as witty and funny in person as he is on his blog
- Boy Grows Up ~ a blogger’s tale of recovery from religious fundamentalism and crystal meth
- Strange Relationship ~ a hot guy writes about hot guys and life
- Are You Sure You Want to Know? ~ a midwest gay guy’s snarky look at life
- Voenix Rising ~ insightful political commentary and woofy guys abound here
- Web Pen Blog ~ just as funny as you would expect the blog of a comedian to be
- Mangina Monologues ~ some of his posts have made me spit coffee on the monitor from laughing so hard
- Godless Liberal Homo ~ politics from a secular queer point of view, this is a good thing
- Just A Dude Talking About Life ~ a hunky man tells us about his gay life
- Shirley Heezgay! ~ champagne for the brain
- Mike Says ~ a look at a gay man’s life in Florida with snarky insights you should take to heart
By no means are these the only queer blogs you should be reading, these just happen to be 13 of my favorites. If you’re looking for more queer blogs check out my blogroll, it’s full of them and I wish I could have included them all. Cutting that list to just 13 was tough!

I bet cutting it down was hard. I know I couldn’t cut my favorite reads down to just 13.
I’ll have to check out some of these; they’re all new to me. The shame. The shame! I thought I was better read than that!
Michelle said
Great list. Happy Birthday to you!! Thanks for visiting and Happy TT.

“I’m going to make all my lists this month queer themed”
Wait… don’t you usually do that? It’s one of the reasons I always love your TT.
The Gal Herself said
“Champagne for the brain.” What blogger wouldn’t want to see his or her work described that way? What a compliment! I’ll have to check it out. (Thanks for visiting my TT)

Howard ~ no pressure, none at all!
Daily Panic ~ thanks
Tink ~ thanks for stopping by and be sure to tell the guys I sent yah!
Melanie ~ thanks! Yes a lot of them are I suppose
The Gal ~ Shirley came up with it himself, but I think it’s appropriate
Lewis said
oh my god, i’m afraid you’ve built it up a bit too much….male model? my dear, that was when i was young, hung, and handsome. a bitch of alot of years ago. and as for witty? i believe it would be more accurately described as smartass 101.
Chris said
Pussreboots ~ hope you find something interesting amongst them
Lewis ~ my dear I haven’t built anything up you’re still handsome, maybe not so young anymore but it looks good on you trust me. As for the hung I wouldn’t know but from my own experience that doesn’t change over the years… or at least it hasn’t yet. Yes witty or smartassy whichever you prefer, either are highly attractive imho
Robin said
Happy birthday!
The religious fundamentalists here in Israel are trying to ban this year’s pride parade in Jerusalem. The more they fight it the more it makes me want to grab a flag and participate.
cb said

Michael said

Here’s a little something for you:

And you called me snarky, you’re so sweet!
Chris said
Robin ~ it’s funny that seems to be the reaction of most people to the religious fudamentalists
Cb ~ yes I’m sweet, now post more pix of you in that harness! (now how sweet am I? LOL)
Michael ~ thanks. Yes, snarky is a huge compliment in my mind…
Mike said
The number 13 has always been my lucky number, thank you for that.
I’d like to take issue with your description, though. I’m a gay guy who happens to be HIV+. I haven’t “had AIDS” since the early days of my blog. And that is just a footnote to my blog, I like to think.
You know I’m gonna be knocking on your door next time I’m “up home”, don’tcha?
Joy Renee said
as a recovering funde myself i’ll be checking out #4 for sure.
i’ve owed you a visit for a couple weeks. sorry it took so long.
Maggie said
Yay, Happy All Kinds of Celebratory Events this month! I will check some of them out, but you left out my personal favorite, yours!
Chris said
Mike ~ I’m quite fond of the #13 as well so glad it’s lucky for you. Change in description noted and made.
As to my door, if you’re not knocking next time you’re up here you’re in big trouble!
Joy ~ thanks for stopping by
Maggie ~ I’m blushing again – geez
Chris said
Michael ~ that youtube is exactly why I read your blog – too funny!
Craig said
Yay! I made the list! Thank you!
Shirley! said
Chris, you charmer, you!
Thanks for including me on your list! (10$ forthcoming)

Chris said
Buck Naked Politics ~ thanks!
libhomo said
Thanks for the plug. I’ve linked you from the GLH Playground.
BTW, I love Puntabulous. It more than deserves its spot. Voenix Rising is fun, and it rewards its readers with pics of hot hairy studs. I’ll have to check the rest of the list.
Chris said
Libhomo ~ thanks for the link
zach said
I’m kinda upset that i didn’t make the list
