Wonkette article strongly alludes that Matt Drudge is gay. (Warning: In typical Wonkette format.)

His Wiki page say that he failed his own Bar Mitzvah and graduated in the bottom 5% of his high school class:

In his book Drudge Manifesto, Drudge says that he "failed his Bar Mitzvah", and graduated 341st out of a class of 355 from Northwood High School in 1984, giving himself, in his words, a "more than adequate curriculum vitae for a post at 7-Eleven".

But, given his audience and the type of information and commentary on his site, the following Wonkette article came as a surprise to me. This apparently popped up on DU form time to time, but not to this article's extent.

For me, it's T.E.H.O., but his professional and personal lives just seem so vastly different.

1. This is news?

There are a billion photos of him with his partner out there.

3. I never followed his personal life, just some of the blog posts. Seems like he lives in duality. nt

2. I thought his being gay was common knowledge.

4. I just notice his blog articles, not investigating the man. I don't look for stuff like that.

But, after stumbling across this, it seems like he lives in a biome that punishes people for being gay.


Helping to feed into that organic community, while being gay himself. That's really what surprises me.

5. Self-loathing gay men shouldn't surprise you. Look at Ted Haggard, the king of it.

The biggest anti-gay male mouths probably give the best blow jobs.
