Author Rich Juzwiak has acted like the spokesperson for the LGBTQ+ community for several years with inflammatory and self-righteous articles that make him think he's an expert on social justice. He has also been accused (but never charged) of acting very sexual with male African-American employees. While the accusations could be from vengeful and disgruntled employees, Juzwiak does have a problematic history with his writing.

We think that Jezebel, a website dedicated to social justice, would be much better off by hiring a POC to write about gay issues. Juzwiak has other writing opportunities and stepping down from Jezebel would not hurt him at all. We would also like the website to acknowledge his problematic articles, but won't force it. We are hoping that Juzwiak will step down from Jezebel by September 15 before we take further action.
