Samantha Sarcinella with fiancé Kyle Bush |
...His Web site has found a modest audience of race fans, gay and straight. He said the site had averaged about 2,000 unique visitors a month.
“Nascar has more fans who are accepting of me being gay than gays have been accepting of me being a Nascar fan,” Myers said in a recent telephone interview.
...Queers4Gears is not the only car Web site for gay men and lesbians, but it seems to be carrying the most momentum. Myers’s tongue-in-cheek “gaynalyses” of each race refers to drivers as divas and leans hard on the soap-opera-style drama of the sport. But he also writes standard recaps of every Sprint Cup race.
...He has drawn notice from the mainstream news media, and his Queers4Gears Twitter account has more than 1,300 followers. But two accounts that Myers set up anonymously each have more followers. When Kyle Busch, a tempestuous 25-year-old Sprint Cup driver, talked early in the season about softening his abrasive personality, Myers created @oldkylebusch and @newkylebusch on Twitter to poke fun at Busch. On Halloween, @oldkylebusch posted: “No KyBu Pumpkin this year. I was trying to carve it when it bumped me — so I smashed it into the wall.”
Myers was found to be the author of the posts, and Queers4Gears drew more attention.
UPDATE: Myer's twitter account reveals that Ann Coulter apparently has beaten GOProud to a shoutout to Myers' readers. You know Ann Coulter... the one who shuts down progressive gay critics by tweeting "I block pederasts" Yeah, that one. But you can't blame the girl for trying to corral a new demographic outbreak of gullible gay conservatives before Sarah Palin does.
