Default Favorite blogs?

What do you guys read?

For starters, I love Effin Dykes (thanks for sharing that one Maverick, it's amazing!!) and I read Lifehacker and Gawker every day.

I follow a lot of blogs, and I have many favourites.

I think my current most favourite blog is Skepchick.

Is there a gay blog just like Effing Dykes that's basically about guys?
Effing Dykes is brilliant though, I have only read one entry and I can tell you that I am hooked.

So there's this lesbian comedian Lianna Carrera who writes a blog. For being a comedian, its very down to earth. So here it is.

The Sartorialist

TheSartorialist is my all time favorite. It's a fashion blog and this guy Scott Schuman takes photographs of great street fashion from NY, milan, paris...etc and upload them almost daily. I also get some inspirations for shopping and stuff from here so it's quite awesome.

Hyperbole and a Half
When I read the story about the simple dog going on an adventure, I cried I was laughing so hard. The illustrations are top notch

I follow a blog about a gay minor league baseball player and his coming to terms with his sexuality. I'm not going to link it directly because he tends to post a lot of eye candy.

But, that's not the reason to read his blog. His posts are very personable and seem to give you insight into what he's experiencing. I find it extremely easy to relate to him, so it's definitely a good read.

If you can't find the blog on google feel free to PM if you want a direct link.

I don't know if it counts as a blog per se, but I don't know what else you would call it. It's ran by the staff at the Courage Campaign, which is a LGBT rights activist group. The crowd there is so amazing, they're real lawyers and they make it so much easier to understand what's going on in the court system and stuff. <3

Another vote for Hyperbole and a Half. Laugh-out-loud funny.
