Are you a ManHunt-er? - Update 8/18/08
***UPDATE*** 8/18/08 Queerty tells me... "Not eager to associate itself with a gay hookup site, the McCain campaign has remained completely mum on the ManHunt matter and are planning on returning Crutchley's donation. Offended by this political diss, Crutchley apparently told Basile (ManHunt co-founder)he's going to back Obama, although it's unlikely Obama will embrace the man love. McCain spokesman Jeff Grappone didn’t return multiple phone calls on the subject, and Crutchley has apparently been informed that his $2,300 will be returned. “He said, ‘If John is too good for my money, I’ll give it to (presumptive Democratic nominee) Barack (Obama),’ ” Basile said yesterday. Crutchley, who originally defended his donation in an online post, did not return a call for comment. Crutchley has since written a “touching” letter to the employees at Manhunt, according to Basile, and is now committed to supporting Obama. “Someone had a reality check,” Basile said. Basile, who described himself as a “staunch Democrat,” said Crutchley has given the maximum amount to Obama. The Manhunt co-founder said he wouldn’t be surprised, considering the subject matter of the Web site, if Obama returns the $2,300 as well. “Barack can’t endorse this kind of adult content. It’s sort of like a third rail,” Basile said"
I think a donation to the League of Drag Queen Voters would be appropritae about now, don't you?
***UPDATE*** 8/15/08 Towelroad (again via Queerty) tells me that Crutchley has stepped down as Chair of the Board at ManHunt. OK - that clears everything up. NOT. He'll still make money from us gays and still contibute it to those that hate us. Stop the madness!!!
**UPDATE** 8/14/08 I hear from Toweload (via Queerty) that people who have sent letters of shame to ManHunt have gotten this reply:
"Dear Sir, We are always happy to hear from our members, thank you for taking the time to express your concerns. The subject that you have brought to our attention is a personal matter and is not representative of MANHUNT. We thank you for your understanding."
Yeah, I understand... money that you get from gays is going to guys who hate gays. That's what I understand.
Without gay bars to find other gays, gays have gone on-line to playces like ManHunt for hook-ups. Fine. Whatever floats your boat. But, according to one of my fave sites www.queerty.com who sites www.towelroad.com, the founder/owner of ManHunt - Jonathan Crutchley (what a name!) has just donated $2,300 dollars to the McCain campaign. There words come to mind... WTF??? If I had a subscription to ManHunt - I'd cancel it - or at least not renew it when it came time.
