Queerty

Queerty is an online magazine and newspaper founded by David Hauslaib in 2005 with Bradford Shellhammer serving as founding editor. This website concentrates on the lighter side of queer news and entertainment, with a sprinkling of political information that LGBT sites can't really avoid. Its grid-like style and plenty of photographs make it simple to browse and choose the next wonderful tidbit of material, and the callouts on the number of shares and comments make it simple to identify which stories are engaging readers.

Being one of the biggest LGBTQ+ sites in the world and also being called "a leading site for gay issues" in 2010, it would surprise you that the site briefly shut down operations in 2011. In the same year, the website and its brand were sold to Q.Digital, Inc., and the company helped the site to come back to life. The site quickly gained its sparks back, and since 2012 it bestows the Queerty Awards or "Queerties", in which their readers vote for the "best of LGBTQ Media and Culture" every March.

At the moment, Queerty has millions of users every month, and this number stays stable for years. In addition, the site has a bounce rate of 81% with 1.43 pages per visit (As of April 2023).
