Tomorrow I’ll be participating in a panel discussion at the NYC LGBT Community Center titled “Queering The Blogosphere: Reflections On LGBT Blogging.” Gay blogging has recently experienced a meteoric rise in popularity and now serves as a major new resource for information and entertainment for the LGBTQ community. In fact, a recent study has shown that LGBT adults are now …

If you visited yesterday’s Carrie Prejean posts you noticed an avalanche of anti-gay trolls as this here website thingy saw about ten times its normal traffic from people Googling variations on “Miss California topless.” Some of the conversation threads no longer “track” because I had to delete and ban so many “your all sick fagets” types of comments. My apologies …

Porn site owners and other spammers are bombarding JMG with outgoing comments links today. I’m deleting them as I can, but please take care when clicking on links left in comments. Some of the linked sites appear to be loaded with spyware/malware/adware. If you don’t already, you should add alert services for these attack sites to your browser.

Overnight this here website thingy saw a traffic spike not seen in several years. Along with that traffic comes a few anti-gay trolls, some of whom I’ve dispatched, some of whom I’ve allowed to stay just for the fun of mocking them. If this is your first visit to JMG and you are straight, welcome, and the Miss California post …

Check out the on-screen credits. Very cool, but I’m not too crazy about Maddow’s last sentence, especially as my disgust for Cheetos is well documented.

Today is my 5th blogiversary. My first post: I was born and raised in rural North Carolina. My fondest childhood memory is of playing in the dense, acrid, poison fog that was belched out by the county mosquito control truck during its daily dusk-time trip down our dirt road. The cry of ‘Smokey! Smokey!’ would fly up and down Nine …

I meant to mention last week that all JMG posts are now automatically tweeted. Follow me at Twitter.com/joemygod if you like.

UPDATE: The Bilerico Project is back up! One of the nation’s top LGBT activism sites, The Bilerico Project, is under a continuing “denial of service” hack attack and is currently offline. Site founder Bil Browning: I wanted to give folks a quick heads up on what’s happened to the Bilerico Project and our affiliated sites. All of our sites are …

Today is the 8th anniversary of the day I moved to NYC. Somehow my six years in San Francisco still seems much longer, but time always plays funny tricks on me like that. I definitely regretted moving here for the first couple of years and would log into SFGate every morning just watch their live cam of the fog rolling …

The new commenting system is working pretty well so far, we haven’t had anybody voted off the island by readers and nobody has been banned since it started. However, among the bugs still being worked out is that I can’t access readers’ email addresses in their profiles. That’s a big problem for Lady Randomocity, because she’s spun her glittery wheel* …

In case you didn’t visit here over the weekend, we’ve installed a new commenting system for JMG, courtesy of JS-Kit. You can now create a personal profile for yourself and include permanent links to your own blogs, your Facebook page, your Twitter account, etc. You can also embed YouTube clips and personal photos into your comments, as well as upload …

As you’ve probably noticed, we’ve installed a new commenting system here on JMG. A host of new features await you. You can vote comments up or down or you can mark then as “offensive.” If ten or more of your fellow commenters find your message to be assholish, it will be collapsed. (Just like on YouTube.) Speaking of YouTube, you …

Yesterday San Francisco’s CBS station ran a piece about how blogs are killing newspapers, using the example of how many blogs used the SF Chronicle’s story about legalizing marijuana as a source. Amusingly, the reporter used this here website thingy as one his examples, inserting his face into my facehole on this blog. Can’t embed it, go look here. I …

In another one of those items that Gawker always derides as “trend pieces”, TIME Magazine’s Claire Suddath takes on the latest Facebook meme, that “25 Things About Me” bit that so many of you have done. And she hates it. Facebook’s “25 Things About Me” meme seems harmless enough; people write 25 facts about themselves and post them on their …

Fort Lauderdale, April 1993 On a sunny morning in 1993, my 13 year old cat Boris jumped into my lap, stretched luxuriously, curled into a ball, and went to sleep forever. It wasn’t totally out of the blue, he’d been suffering from urinary blockages, a chronic problem with neutered males. He’d been in a coma once, with a little kitty …

Haloscan is having its quarterly hiccup and the comment counters are not updating on today’s posts. You can always use the “notify me” function and follow-ups to your comments will be emailed to you directly. We’re all still waiting for Haloscan’s much-touted upgrade, which was promised to us months ago. UPDATE: The Haloscan glitch continues for all users. Your comments …

A quick reminder that I’ll be on Michelangelo Signorile’s show on SiriusXM’s OutQ channel today at 3:30pm EST to talk about Peter LaBarbera and the Americans For Truth About Homosexuality. You can listen free online if you register for a 3-day pass at the Sirius site.

Tomorrow at 3:30pm (EST) I’ll be on Michelangelo Signorile’s show on SiriusXM to talk about Peter LaBarbera. I’m not sure if Porno Petey himself will call in, but that would be sweeeeet. You can stream the show live on the SiriusXM site (free 3 day pass with new registration) and I’ll try and get a clip from the producers to …
