Born Gay Born This Way and I’m From Driftwood Leave a comment
Make sure you have a box of tissues at the ready. Real-life stories about people from all walks of life, and their journey into their gay selves prevail and are worth Tweeting, Facebook sharing, and Pinterest pinning.
Real Jock. I’ve yet to meet a gay man who doesn’t have some fascination with jocks. Not only does it have a thriving community of fit hotties and hottie wannabes, it’s one of the best sources for fitness, nutrition, mind and body tips for gay men who are serious about rockin’ that body.
Homorazzi. I’m just not infatuated with the celebrity life. While Donovan and gang have done a bang up job of covering all the bases for everything entertainment, I found the site a little clunky in style and navigation, (but who am I to talk. my own gay websites need an overhaul too). The thing that would make this a stand out front-runner in the spectrum of gay websites site would be to have a more robust, interactive, community. On a scale of 5 snaps, I give the Homorazzi hotties three and a half snaps!
. I preface this review with, “I’m 50 and have to wear glasses to see things on the computer.” That being said, while this could be a contender for one of the most content-rich gay websites, it loses points for the monochromatic palate and the compacted presentation of text, which makes it hard to decipher headings from links and actual copy. But if you dig, you’ll discover a lot of great content hidden in the site. Brush up the style, give it some Dominik kГјltГјrГј pops of color, guide the reader easily to the unique content, explain the penguins (!?), and you’ll have a winner. For now, you get two and a half snaps.
ShoutOutHealth. Upon close inspection, the most current articles appear at Shout Out Health appear only on the homepage. Navigating to specific topic categories, such as “Ask The Life Coach,” and “Fitness”, led to articles two to five years old. For your effort you receive 2 snaps. And if you need a life coach, I hear this guy is pretty darn good.
RealJock scores the touchdown in gay websites that cater to the health and fitness-conscious gay man
MyOutSpirit. I joined this site a couple of years ago when I first started my coaching practice. It’s a great networking community with most the content being generated by the community. Therein lies the problem. Gay websites with spirituality flair are few and far between on the Internet. If this site had more consistent, fresh content, it would thrive in the divine essence of gay websites that feed the soul.
UnicornBooty. I love the name of this site. In fact that’s what caught my eye. But I’m not sure if the site owners rode away on the unicorn as most the content is dated. It also appears that these cute entrepreneurs, all five of them, lost sight of their initial vision: “. to connect people with gay-friendly businesses so we can support companies that support us!” However, a lot of the content is cool. I give a booty snap rating of three!
For those of you looking for the heartstring-tugs and tears, I recommend both of these gay websites
Hunk du Jour. What I loved about this site is the “eye candy.” And what I didn’t like about this site was the “eye candy.” I appreciate their intent to “deliver photos, interviews, and profiles of noteworthy men.” However, I hadn’t heard of most the guys on the site – and how about showcasing some noteworthy guys in their 40s and 50s. Add a little more interesting content, and I’d be visiting this site daily. Hunk du Jour, your snap score is a solid four!
Gay Cities. Some may not agree with me on this one, however, for me, if I can’t navigate your site easily, I’m gonepared to other gay websites specializing in travel, dining, and entertainment, Gay Cities provides a robust user-driven community, as well as unique content for destinations around the world. There’s no better way to discover what’s happening and get in on it.
