Nice news to report; this move — adding someone of Michelangelo Signorile’s gravitas to the fold — should give a strong boost to the Huffington Post’s fledgling LGBT web channel. From the release:

The Huffington Post Media Group, a leading source of news, opinion, entertainment, community and digital information, announces today that Michelangelo Signorile has been named Editor-at-Large of HuffPost Gay Voices. In this position, Signorile will help shape the site’s vision and direction, offer commentary and analysis, live-blog events, assist with assigning story coverage, and enlist a wide array of voices to contribute to the conversations of interest to the gay community and beyond. HuffPost Gay Voices launched in October and in its first month was the most popular gay site, as measured by comScore (October 2011). Noah Michelson is Editor. Arianna Huffington, President and Editor-in-Chief of AOL Huffington Post Media Group, made the announcement.

“We’re delighted to welcome Michelangelo Signorile to the HuffPost team,” said Arianna Huffington. “He has his finger on the pulse of the issues that matter to the LGBT community, knows how to start provocative, enlightening conversations, and his engaging, plugged-in and fast-moving sensibility is perfect for the web.”

Said Michelangelo Signorile: “Like the Huffington Post itself, LGBT issues and culture today cut across every aspect of life — from pop culture to the halls of Congress, from sports to what’s happening in our nation’s schools. HuffPost is the ideal platform to provide people gay and straight with what they’re looking for: better information, more perspectives and a livelier discussion. This is a pivotal time for the LGBT community, so I’m thrilled to have an opportunity to guide some of the big discussions that we’ll be having.”
