QUEERTY – July 2 - Gaydar is trying to start a fight with Manhunt over supposedly hijacking NYC Pride. Gaydar, the British-based "dating" site is all upset that after donating cash to Heritage of Pride to become a sponsor for the NYC Pride parade march, which entitled them to wave their brand around at the Pier Dance, Manhunt hired a plane to fly a banner over all the queers. "I found the Manhunt’s aerial banner hijack attempt to be a bit desperate and, with no mention of Pride on their banner, not terribly supportive of the community", said Gaydar's marketing head Phil Henricks. Does flying an airplane banner over NYC Pride's festivities count as hijacking? Well, it's certainly not kosher — but it's a standard industry practice. FULL ARTICLE @ QUEERTY
