What's up with The Blaze?

[captain_kook]

very interesting
 
"The Blaze" was a regional gay newspaper - I don't know if it still exists, and "The Blaze" is still used as the name of a gay website in Australia.

Blaze - aka The Blaze - is currently the name of a group promoting gay camping, hiking and backpacking:
 
Welcome Backpackers!




Join us for nights under the stars, treks in the woods and NYC events to talk about your favorite gear and the next adventure.
BLAZE>> is a group for gay men in NYC that crave being outdoors and are passionate about backpacking and backcountry camping. New to backpacking? No worries, our members range from beginner trekkers with lots of enthusiasm to seasoned adventurers with years of experience to share. We are committed to challenging ourselves by trekking to isolated places of remarkable beauty, but our trips are as much about the journey as they are about being an über athlete.
There are no fees to join BLAZE>>, but you can help cover MeetUp admin costs by shopping for BLAZE>> products at the following on-line stores:

or

PLEASE NOTE: Group sizes for backcountry events are kept small for group safety, logistics and minimizing environmental impact. Your enthusiasm for our events is greatly appreciated, so if a trip is full, please join the waiting list - anything can happen when you are on a waiting list!

"Blaze" is so common a term used in gay circles that I wonder how the guys running the new "The Blaze" didn't figure that out before they bought the domain name.

i would think "the Flame" would be more appropriate...but the Blaze?  isn't that what beck is calling his gay website?  not that there is anything wrong with that....

Maybe Beck is a log cabin Republican?

[lluke47]

Maybe you liberals are just stupid...

[13.99]

Liberal, ME? Common luke when I saw the picture of Beck all crying, he looked like a Nancy, however, I don't listen to him, so I don't know.

[lluke47]

Then you know Beck is not a queer or a liberal which is almost the same..
