Luriddigs.com brings justice and counseling to gays without a queer eye
By
Bill Andriette
When credit is given for the art forms that it took
homosexuals to give the breath of life, there'll be
recalled Greek sculpture, the Broadway show tune,
and the photo caption.
The last item's elevation to high art's pantheon
is proved by the website with maybe the best queer
analysis written today:
Luriddigs.com.
The analysis in question limits itself to window
treatments, wall hangings, choices in throw rugs,
sectionals, and the like. But that doesn't take away
from the profundity of what Luriddigs.com's six
staff writers have to say about the contents of
men's souls.
Of course a site dedicated to "horrifying gay
amateur interiors" is working with great material:
homemade porno shots that style-challenged gay
men (clueless? calculating?) post online -- mating
calls sung into cyberspace.
The Guide being a family magazine,
we can't show you pictures of the settee-humpers,
the futon-sprawled onanists, and other choice
morsels of amateur gay porn that this site subjects
to withering stylistic deconstruction. But consider
this G-rated entry, titled, "The Proper Care of Art
-- Ricardo's Lesson":
"This serene, gallery-quality forest print on
pressed fiberboard has started to warp and ripple,"
Luriddigs.com regular Steve opines. "The humidity
level of this environment is too high for
the proper care of art. This print must be moved to
an environment of lower humidity immediately if
the remaining value is to be preserved. Art is
something that must be treasured, like a fine
fur."
In a world where a room's inner strength
doesn't always jibe with the sexiness of its, say,
masturbating occupant, Luriddigs.com is fighting a
war for truth and beauty.
