 Can You Queer Me Now?
iphone

    The Iphone has gone gay. Leave it to the homocool to use the IPhone to find other hot homos in the area. With Apps like Grindr gays can echolocate like little queer dolphins. Using the phones built in GPS they can set a radius to search, finding other homohunks who have signed up and turned on the app. Nearby gays are displayed in a grid of pics that can be clicked on to display that persons profile. In order to prevent the app from becoming a hunting device for fag bashers exact locations aren't revealed until the user views the profile of someone he is interested in and they allow the exact location to be seen. There are similar apps such as Who'sHere (not gay specific), Purpll-gay life, Boy Ahoy (I didn't name it I'm just telling you about it), Gay community App. Some of them seem to have speed problems  and Gay Community App has been reported to crash at times.

A less specific app is GayCities, a gay travel guide and glbt owned and glbt friendly business guide that is supported by their online website that also contains user generated reviews of amenities, organizations, shops, museums etc.

The Edge is like a gay magazine for your Iphone. It's web version is well rounded with stories ranging from a personal essay on religion to an article on Patty Duke attending a screening of her 1967 movie Valley of the Dolls at the Castro theater in SF. The Iphone version is just as informative.

 Gay Music is well represented with iHeartRadio (clearchannel) offering several San Fran stations as well as Pride Radio,
GIRL (Gay Internet Radio Live) offers just the kind of music you would expect from a place called You Go Girl- America's Dance Channel. The web version offers a circuit party guide and news (headline news that is not specifically gay) as well as a gallery. Berlin offers us Gay FM. Dance music for those able to download the app in German.

One oddly entertaining app that is not exclusively gay is Guys With IPhones where guys with Iphones do exactly what you expect them too. Be aware that there is the occasional weanie shot. Don't even act surprised.
 
Here's a better picture of Bryce's "Pants"  not sure about the thigh high boots with them but the youngins they have their own fashion sense....

Here is a great new app that is not only useful and fun but helps the community. Reportage by mtam0707.

Such a switch form my beverage drinking app........
I would never have known about this stuff! Thanks for reporting!
Gary remember when an app was something you had before your entree and You Tube was an insult?

BTW Openly Gay Salon is totally unofficial and much to stylish to have been created by the real open salon.
OWLIE- Some of those homohunting apps might be handy for those of us who live in the hinterlands.
Phaeby- SOme of those guys with Iphones are worth checking.
my kid has an iPhone....crap! He loves it and I'm blown away ...
did I say blown?
Tijo U CrAzY
I don't have an iPhone, but I still feel vaguely threatened and possibly even outraged that gay people get to echolocate prospective mates but I don't:(
The ads inform me of another app to check out that says it is a gay rights movement app. MyGayGo.com

Phaeby- There are several OMG pictures on there.

Trig- Don't look for his picture on guys with Iphones unless you want an IFull.
Hmmmm . . . homo hunting in the hinterlands . . . that might already be a sport in this area.
Nana- maybe your nephew will let you borrow his and you can use Who'sHere. Unfortunately I've seen who's here and don't want any. Do people show up at Walmart in KC in their PJ bottoms like they do in my little podunk town?
Owl- I was thinking more of horny little hillbilly boys looking for pawpaws.
The WalMart PJ people are the nearest thing we have here to performance art, but sadly it's a group that contains few prospective candidates for dating.
Nana- Although if you can find someone hot in PJ bottoms and a fifteen year old Garth Brooks T-shirt you will probably always feel that hot prickly rush of love when you look at their toothless mug.
Phae- and when I see them in the make up aisle I wanna yell, "Really? I mean Why? really why?"
I saw a woman in WalMart once who looked exactly like Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister. I got home later and told my girlfriend, and she asked if I was sure it wasn't really Sarah Jessica Parker.
That was Dee Snyder Jessica Parker a drag queen who travels the country in a Winnabago performing at Walmarts. Part of all proceeds go to Walmart employees so they can afford to eat. Dee herself doesn't eat but lives on a diet of Crystal Meth mixed with Crystal Light and Slim Jims.
Isn't that called Crystal Meth Lite?
Yes- the orange flavor with vodka is a Lite screw.
I got a stalker at Walmart once, she was nice, left dead bunnies on my door step with little love notes such as 'UNLIKE THIS BUNNY, MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL NOT ROT AND SMELL BUT YOU MIGHT IF YOU DON'T LOVE ME...'

~tears~ but then she left me for the milk man, cause he does the body good. ~Crying~

:)
Eight gazillion thumbs up. You are teh funny!
A safe way for Gays to get together is it not?
No iPhone, but I do have an iPod that gets apps. I bought the Tarot and meditation ones. I think I'll stick to those. Meeting strangers through an app, gay or not, doesn't appeal to me.
So what are you going to tell him when he wants to get married to another i-phone? Or what if it comes to romance with an i-pod or a radar detector????
Sounds great, but there can still be a security concern. It's not like bashers can't impersonate queers, after all.

All the hillybilly/WalMart talk on this thread is hysterical.lol.
Puts a whole new meaning to the old AT&T slogan - Reach Out and Touch Someone
Tink-I find Target to have a much better class of stalkers.

AIM-where do you buy gloves?

Scanner- probably about the same as other ways as far as safety is concerned but more efficient.

MAWB- but you could consult the cards before meeting them. Would the hanged man be good or bad?

ChiGuy- I'll just make sure he has a condom.

Max- nothing better than common sense and meeting in a public place.

Mssr Gaston-Much better than the ring-a-ding for your ding-a-ling that they were going to use.

Jane- Our little Bryce has a mind of his own.
This was hilarious. Why don't we have any hetero apps? Oh, wait, all the rest I guess are. :-D
I found a jazz app and that made me very gay (in the happiness since!)
RATED
Kindablue- Jazz makes me a little gay myself. I have lived in some great cities for jazz. New Orleans, Chicago, and Miami. All very different but also very good.
Hey, why would a Lance Armstrong ad come up on a gay post? Hmmmmm.
Does he use an iPhone?

Tijo, please come by my Cronkite post. I need the input of the gay community on the shocking murder of Walter Cronkite by Brian Williams.
What a disgusting little bloggilo you are Nana.
Nana- glad you are still alive. Was worried PZ would get you.

Drewz- That's okay this is all part of my plan. His fear will drive him into my arms and I will squeeze him like a bunny.
excellent post, ti ti!!! and my bryce! i pictured him blond but it's all good. are you sure he couldn't wear his board shorts lower? this is all fabulous for the boys. who knew? i thought that iphones were so expensive but it seems like more and mroe people have them now, including TrigX so they can't be that pricey. still way out of my budget but a girl can dream. any apps for Fag Hags? i guess we just use all the regular homo ones, eh?

i had no idea about the pajama people at Walmart. that is tres scary. ti ti, i'm still running a fucking fever and therefore feeling miserable and carpy but you made me very happy with this informative post that the gutter krew guys are a bit waaaaay too interested in. did you notice that? drew surely did. love love love and gratitude
Theo my love. Never fear Bryce's hair color changes as often as his taste in men. He now has a big thing for Ukrainian Truckers. He says that if you want to find an Eastern European emigre just look behind the steering wheel of a big rig. Who knew? He says that the smell of beets and rye bread make him giddy and the scent of an unwashed man and cigarette smoke mingled in a faux leather sleeper cab make him as hard as cold steel. He did pause in his obsession long enough to tell me to tell you that Cabbage Soup is great for congestion. When I asked him which end he said which ever one is clogged dummy and waltzed out of the room. Hope you get to feeling better. Love Love Love and cabbage soup.
I'm on it! Great info, Tijo...xox
@jane smithie -- Bryce's "pants" are just fine, thank you.
ti ti, thank you for sharing Bryce's latest obsession. there are tons of ukrainians in Portland!!! not truckers per se but, hey... tell him thanks about the cabbage soup. he does have his areas of expertise, doesn't he? i went and did my thing in the regular pool today and got the puppies running around also so im' feeling better. but i am soooo fucking fat. it's scary. they'll be rolling me around soon. shit. :) love love love!!! and more love.
Had to come back to see Bryce - he's quite . . . something!
what will they think of next?
I never knew. I have an ancient cell phone that has apps I never use. Just a phone.

Monte
I was at the lake this weekend Tijo, and though we had TrigX's iPhone I couldn't find an app to echolocate slatternly marina hoes who hang around the dock waiting to jump on the dude with the biggest outboard. Needless to say, the lack affected the quality of our fishing experience:(

And Drew's a total bitch.
That Bryce certainly is an intriguing fellow, in a "hey, I'm wearing an unravelled ball of pink yarn for pants" kind of way.

And Nana, what you needed was an app to locate raddled camp slags who believe you when you say your dinghy is really a sloop:)
Nana in that case I would recommend a tactic that I have seen Alabamians and Texans use on Bourbon Street in NOLA it involve a yelping hoop that usually involves a college football cry, given that you were trying to attract women hanging about the marina looking for dock cock maybe try a loud and long ahoy. Also standing next to Trig might help -everything looks like it has some horsepower when compared to a trolling motor.

Drew- Bryce is like a kitten with a ball of yarn-after some crystal meth lite. Nana wants you to know that he may have a dinghy but he is still able to rig his sail.
And my mizzenmast is famed throughout the Tri-County Area.
