Matt Drudge horrified he made OUT Magazines 'Power 50' list

[CatWoman]

New York magazine's Intelligencer got a "quick response" from Matt Drudge after emailing him about his placement on OUT magazine's 'Power 50' list this year along with another glass closet inhabitant, Barry Diller.

Drudge Said Drudge: “False. False. False. I do not love sex with men. My site is not anti-gay. I present both sides of the anti-choice-life issue. I am not anti-tolerant! Except against big-government freaks. I liked Chaka in the eighties, and have not watched Young and the Restless in twenty years! But I do watch Judge Judy!”

OUT editor Aaron Hicklin talked about the 'Power 50' in a Sunday piece for the UK's Guardian and why he has no problem with naming those who haven't publicly acknowledged their sexuality:

"Much has changed in two years. For a start, four of the names included in the 'Glass Closet' story that accompanied the inaugural Power 50 list have since come out, starting with Foster who finally acknowledged, in December 2007, her 'beautiful Cydney, who sticks with me through the rotten and the bliss'. Second, we are now in Barack Obama's America, opening up a very different vista for gays and lesbians, in which the days of being knocked back and forth between evangelical Republicans and poll-sensitive Democrats seem, finally, to be numbered."

4. To paraphrase Wm Shakespeare: "methinks he doth protest too much"

[Hawkeye-X]

5. We already know that Drudge was outted a long time ago.

He just continue to deny it, just like any other gay Republicans.

6. Is that an actual quote? Or is there a little poetic license going on here?

Either way, it makes no sense!

7. Wanna get under the skin of any wing nut? Say (or imply) that they are gay

You may not think that is an insult but they sure as hell do.

They just laugh at being called bigots or cruel or selfish or mean. Those are all favorable traits to them. But gay? They all go apeshit.

I don't know if Drudge is gay or not. From he hysterical tone of his denials it appears that he is. He sure seems to be touchy about the subject.

8. I can't imagine why I'd care if Drudge is gay or not.

I really can't.

9. I will always treasure the scene in David Brock's Blinded by the Right

in which Drudge shows up at Brock's door with a bouquet of yellow roses.

21. Alec Baldwin said Drudge came on to him also

must have a thing for liberal men. or maybe he is the way he is because they rejected him.

10. Wow they missed an obvious one

12. Does it turn you into a supposed heterosexual male who DOESN'T think about having sex

when he sees an "attractive woman"?


"attractive woman" means that you are sexually attracted to her :eyes: that pretty much cemented my first impression of the guy

[CatWoman]

13. I don't need attractiveness to turn me on

:)

19. I'm sorry.

:evilgrin:

[CatWoman]

20. lol!!

:rofl:

14. Speculation about Drudge's orientation has been around for years, but.....

....shouldn't one actually be "Out" to make a list in "Out" magazine? :shrug:

[tnlefty]

15. "My site is not anti-gay. I present both sides of the antio-choice-life

issue." Could someone please explain to me what the hell that is supposed to mean?!? I'd like to be a little less mind boggled before I slog on. :crazy:

16. Where OUT got its info

OUT magazine got its info about Matt Drudge, Chaka Khan, and "Young and the Restless" from my memoir ALL I COULD BARE: MY LIFE IN THE STRIP CLUBS OF GAY WASHINGTON, D.C. (Matt and I were friends for a short time in the late '80s, and I write about it in the book.) I've posted the full excerpt on my blog:

17. I thought this was old news, and it would not really matter unless

he "outs" others who don't want to be outed.

I don't take Drudge seriously, but I don't really hate him either. And I miss his radio show. I thought he was dumb but harmless, unlike many other right wing talk show fucks.
