Queerty bites the dust.

I'm in Charlottesville, VA at UVA to give a speech during its "Proud to be Out" week, but wanted to see your comments on this news...covered by LezGetReal, Bilerico, and David Badash.

I don't have time to do a full writeup, but I wanted to post because the news is kind of timely, given how I've considered what to do with the Blend (you'll learn more soon about that issue since the news about the dealings with the bottom-feeding goons at Righthaven, LLC has trickled out on FB and Twitter). Righthaven, which works in partnership (and profit) with the Denver Post, has found itself in a lot of trouble lately that could affect the hundreds of blood money settlements that have been extracted from bloggers well-known and unknown. But we're still here -- broke -- but still serving up Blend.

It's odd that the corporate-money funded Queerty should shutter before independent, unfunded PHB. But it's not clear what took Queerty down.
