Worldwide Gay Media and Press Professionals Connect
The gay media is able to interact, share news stories and find material for their publications.
Your local gay newspaper has never seen anything like it. In the "good old"
days, the gay newspapers job was to publish breaking news for the gay
community. In those days the mainstream media would not even touch a
story in the GLBT community. In this day and age, that has changed.
When you turn on the TV today it is hard not to find some type of media
about the GLBT community. This has made it hard for the gay
newspapers. Most gay newspapers are published weekly or monthly. They
are finding that the breaking news is being released by the mainstream
media before they can get it out. They find it more challenging to
find stories and content for their publication.

2010 Census and the LGBT Community: What these changes mean for you
By Timothy P. Olson, Assistant Division Chief, Field Division, U.S. Census Bureau
Throughout our nation's history, the census has served to document and
reflect our increasingly diverse and changing population. For the LGBT
community, the first big change in the census occurred in 1980 when a
"partner" category was added to the census questionnaire as a way to
describe the relationship between two people in the household. However,
until Census 2000, if two members of the same sex chose instead to
describe themselves as spouses - a legal impossibility at the time -
the gender of the second person was changed to the opposite sex. With
Census 2000 this changed: the second same-sex spouse's relationship
response was changed to the unmarried partner category.

Helsinki - Just Adorable
GayTravel.com provides a Gay-Friendly view of Helsinki, Finland
 The capital of Finland, Helsinki is quaint, charming, clean and surprisingly "happening." The public transportation since may be the best in the world and the people may be the kindest. A center of global design, it seems everything new and funky comes here first. From
large boulevards to hidden winding lanes, sun-swept parks to deserted
islands just a fifteen-minute ferry-ride away, Helsinki is the perfect
city break destination, an excellent reintroduction to Europe following
Russia or a brilliant addition to a Scandinavian adventure. Eat reindeer and lingonberries, explore ancient island forts and simply relax at a sidewalk cafe in this northern city. Read on....
