History
Queerty was founded by David Hauslaib in 2005, with Bradford Shellhammer serving as founding editor. The site briefly shut down operations in 2011, before being sold to Q.Digital, Inc., the current owners and operators.[4][5]
Newsweek called Queerty "a leading site for gay issues" in 2010.[6]
Since 2012,[7] the site bestows the Queerty Awards or "Queerties", in which their readers vote for the "best of LGBTQ Media and Culture" every March.[8]
