Unbelievable...

McCain Takes $2300 Contribution from Owner of Gay Sex Site Manhunt
You may have read about Manhunt.net founders Larry Basile and Jonathan Crutchley (above right) in Michael Joseph Gross' OUT article entitled "Has Manhunt Destroyed Gay Culture?"

Crutchley's political leanings are pointed out near the beginning of the piece:

"Crutchley, a liberal Republican with a tight white beard, admits that he felt anxious during Manhunt’s first years, before his and Basile’s initial investment of $800,000 bore fruit. Now, seated at his desk and surrounded by giant photographs of body builders’ glutes, Crutchley says the company brings in at least $2.4 million per month -- almost $30 million a year -- not counting ad revenues, and prospects for growth are strong. Manhunt’s success measures the extent to which online cruising has changed gay urban social life. Is it changing gay politics too?"

Crutchley's right-leaning ways have been reported on before, in the Huffington Post, which reported on a contribution he made to the McCain campaign...

It appears John McCain has accepted the maximum individual campaign donation from the owner of America's largest gay sex hook-up website.

And if I were you I would tell your fuck bud he should start looking elsewhere for cock to fill his pathetic republican hole.

Gay republicans!! They make me want to puke.

I have to agree with Scott. McCain would love it if you and the fuck bud would go to jail for your fun times. Find a new guy who appreciates the freedom of HAVING a fuck bud.

I had JUST read about this/posted about it today, myself.

The update over at Towerload is that the self-loathing gay Republican has resigned...and the Online Buddies, Inc. board of directors was shocked to find out he'd been a Republican all along.

And yeah...find a new fuck buddy. Republicans will try to deny you health benefits should you ever wind up catching something from him.
