So that's what happened?

Earlier this year, I frequently visited AOL's Queersited blog. But I grew weary of the off-balanced bloggers, namely, the 654 gay dudes and the two token lesbians. Okay, so it was more like 4 dudes and 2 lesbians. Now, when I visit the site, I don't recognize most of the bloggers, but wait, that isn't the issue here.

Queerty has a post about AOL canning the baby gay blog and why.

Now, it wasn't my favorite blog to read, and I probably wouldn't have noticed it were done for had I not read Queerty's post, but still. It sucks to get hired for some groundbreaking (on AOL's turf, that is) blogging and then to have that all end with a quiet "goodbye." And, for what reasons?
