Manhunt Founder Donates Maximum to McCain’s Campaign


What the Fuck! Are you telling me that the gayest site on the web supports the anti-gay Republican? It’s all true. Jonathan Crutchley has donated the maximum personal donation allowable $2300 to John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign.

Crutcheley states “I believe McCain will be a better commander-in-chief than Obama, who also opposes gay marriage. If we have an experienced, seasoned person defending the country in this dangerous age, we will be able to argue about the gay agenda later. Yes, I am a Massachusetts Republican, which is about the same as being an Alabama Democrat. But don't call me a ‘liberal.’ That's an insult.”

Michael Joseph Gross article posted on Out.com says “Crutchley, a liberal Republican with a tight white beard, admits that he felt anxious during Manhunt’s first years, before his and [Larry] Basile’s initial investment of $800,000 bore fruit. Now, seated at his desk and surrounded by giant photographs of body builders’ glutes, Crutchley says the company brings in at least $2.4 million per month — almost $30 million a year — not counting ad revenues, and prospects for growth are strong. Manhunt’s success measures the extent to which online cruising has changed gay urban social life. Is it changing gay politics too?”
