What is this?
Gay Geeks is a forum for (duh) gay geeks of all types to hang out, chat, debate, rant, occasionally flirt shamelessly, and just generally chill. You don't have to be a computer geek, and you don't have to "prove" how geeky you are. It's all about self-identification, peeps. Just be whatever.
We're in a crazy alpha period right now, where I randomly add new features and break old ones all the time, while getting feedback from you guys. Luckily, new people turn up every day by just typing in the URL, assuming a site like this must exist.
What can I do here?
Non-members can enjoy our wonderful feed aggregation below. Isn't that fun? So much gay news! I bet you feel informed and entertained already.
If you register as a user you can get access to our forums, where you talk about anything, as well as exchange private messages with other users, and set up a profile with a gallery. You know, for the flirting. I realize these are not novel features, but we're working on some unique new features right now too :-)

On Dungy, Tyree, and their anti-equality fumbles #SuperBowl
In just the passing glimpses I've given to today's Super Bowl preshows, I've already seen multiple segments with NBC sports analyst Tony Dungy and former Giants star wide receiver David Tyree. So that being the case, I thought I should... -
Days and Slights: This Week in NOM (Jan. 29 - Feb. 4)

Video: 'Ex-gay' seminar, un-closeted

ME's most 'marriage protect-y' Bishop out to alter more than just rights
During 2009's "Yes on One" effort in Maine, I went to great lengths to show how much campaign co-head (and current FRC employee) Bob Emrich supported so-called "ex-gay" therapy. So I have to say, I'm both thrilled and shocked here...

Gorgeous Matt Bomer Takes Son, But Not Hubby, To Super Bowl
Perusing JustJared today, we learned that White Collar star Matt Bomer and his cute-as-a-button son, Kit, are at the Super Bowl. Paparazzo caught up with the White Collar star and kinder at the DirecTV Super Saturday Night Verizon NFL Training Ground event at Indianapolis’ Victory Field yesterday, where they happily posed for photos.

WATCH: PinkNews Founder Benjamin Cohen Explains How It Gets Better For Gays Of Faith
When we saw that a Brit named Ben Cohen made an It Gets Better video, we automatically assumed it was the gay-friendly rugby player, who has already done so much to help combat LGBT bullying. Actually it’s Benjamin Cohen, a correspondent for the UK’s Channel 4 News and the founder of the international LGBT outlet PinkNews [...] -
Johnny Weir’s Super Bowl Fantasy: “I’m Rooting For Tom Brady In A Loincloth”
While we’ve already listed the 13 hottest football studs facing off on the gridiron at today’s Super Bowl, we hadn’t entertained the notion that the New England Patriots’ star quarterback might appear in an unconventional outfit. That is, until figure-skating prince Johnny Weir mentioned it to us at last night’s HRC swanky dinner gala, held [...] -
OMG Y’all, Miley Cyrus Is, Like, Totally, Speakin’ Out For Marriage Equality!
Imagine finding someone you love more than anything in the world, who you would risk your life for but couldn’t marry. And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do—you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that [...] -
Madonna, Music And The Movies: From Desperately Seeking Susan To W.E.
W.E. hit select theaters this weekend and, though it wasn’t eligible for an Academy Award, “Masterpiece,” Madonna’s musical contribution to the movie, snagged a Golden Globe and will also appear on her upcoming album, MDNA. (We’d like to see some DJ remix the song and give it an interesting dance-club beat.) This got us thinking about Madonna’s [...] -

PHOTOS: Thirteen Football Studs To Look Out For On Super Bowl Sunday
Given how much the gays have been tweeting and Facebooking their excitement about this coming Sunday’s Super Bowl, you’d think the game was just a warmup for Madonna’s halftime show. But though Madge might “bring the gay” on Sunday, there’s plenty of other reasons for us to watch—namely all the brawny babes running around and smashing [...] -
Religious Right’s Threats, Boycotts Backfire As JCPenney Stands By Ellen And Komen Reverses On Planned Parenthood Cuts

This blows. Where else can I go?
It certainly leaves a lot to be desired at the moment, but the lack of anywhere very good is why I'm building it. Here's some other places to try:
- ThingBox
- One of the best online communities I've ever been a part of, but sadly very London-centric.
- GayGamer.net
- There's a pretty big intersection between geeks and gamers; I've met some great people from this site.
- Gay Intellectuals @ Gay.Com
- Some folks at Gay.com got tired of the emphasis on searching by penis length and tried to inject some culture into what is frankly a cesspit of a site. This is their own independent web presence.
- OpenMynds
- A safe space for LGBT people, this seems to be more focussed on support and the newly coming-out.

I also recommend these fine, semi-related sites:
- GayGeek
- GayGeek reviews gay adult sites, so you don't have to. We don't do porn, but luckily for you, these guys do.
- Good As You
- Skewering the intolerant right, the adorable Jeremy covers politics daily from a gay perspective.
- Gaytorrents
- Bittorrents of gay movies. The old forum owed a lot of its popularity to people accidentally ending up here while looking for this place.
