Loyal readers, we need your help! Our friend Zack Rosen, editor-in-chief of The New Gay and all around hotty, is vying to win a scholarship to NetRoots Nation. Vote for him and he'll send us a picture of himself...naked.
Here's a more thorough explanation from the man himself:
I, Zack Rosen am editor-in-chief of The New Gay, a DC-based website for alternative queers. It's a place where queer men, women and transfolk can go to read ideas, narratives and culture commentary that doesn't talk down to its readers or make assumptions about the things they care about based on who or how they fuck. Last week I was given the opportunity to win a scholarship to NetRoots Nation, an online activism conference taking place in Vegas in July. the Freedom to Marry non-profit has selected 10 up and coming bloggers as semifinalists for a scholarship to Netroots, and will only be picking three winners. Ergo, Zack needs your help.
My cause - that queer people don't have to change their fundamental selves to be accepted into an often-vapid mainstream - is so important to me, and going to this conference would provide innumerable opportunities for both networking and recruiting new talent for the TNG team. So I really want to win.
My solemn promise to the Fleshbot community is that if they go to the Freedom to Marry voting page and vote for Zack Rosen, and if I win, I will send in a picture of myself without that pesky sign in front of my crotch. And I'll have a boner. So do it for me, do it for dick, do it for naked pictures of non-famous people. But please, from the bottom of my heart, vote for me. I really need your help.
If you need more convincing, here are 5 things about my penis that should make you want to see it.
1. My penis has not been shaved, waxed, sculpted or prepped/fluffed by a team of crotch stylists, What you're getting is the real deal.
2. Say what you want about Jewish guys, but I've been told once or twice that my penis is not, shall we say, on the small side.
3. My penis believes that our rights as gay men should not be contingent on our actions. Ergo, I do not find it contradictory that I should encourage men to break out of our molds and fight for our right to be ourselves with my dick out. Sex is a part of who we are. If we trade sex for rights, we are not fully free.
4. My penis has never been published on the internet before. Not even on dudesnude, not even on facebook.
5. Do you really need a fifth reason? C'mon.
Best,
Zack
You owe it to your country to help ruin this guy's potential political career. But more importantly, you owe it to yourselves. The voting ends Friday, so vote now! As soon as Zack knows whether or not he won, we'll have his dick pic.
