Best Canadian Gay Blogs

The Canadian Blog Awards are taking place right now and the webmaster over at Queer Two Cents sent me a message the other week to let me know he had made it into the finalists.

So in case I have too many glasses of holiday cheer (as I did Thursday night last week) and repost something I’ve already posted on Up Your Alley (see here), here are some reading alternatives that you should look at for your daily quota of gay. My apologies for that post on Friday. It’s that time of year, people, and as I’m sure you can tell, when friends and promoters ask me to come celebrate, who am I to say no?
