Participation

Specialists across the country specifically to work with LGBT community

 Fabulis Scores $625k In Funding for Gay Community
Site
Fabulis is intended for gay men and their
friends
Jason Goldberg's new startup, Fabulis, a new service targeting the
lucrative, but potentially underserved, gay male market, announced the
raise of $625,000 in seed funding today, the majority of which will be
used to "build product". Fabulis' launch comes on the heels of
Goldberg's success in building and selling Socialmedian to XING in 2008, which itself followed his
work at Jobster, one
of the more visible jobs and recruiting sites on the Web. The first
round of funding came from the same supporters who invested in
Socialmedian, clearly happy with their returns from the 2008 deal.

anything wrong. What does etiquette say for two grooms or two brides?
And what about legalities? Find out the answers to those questions and
more in "The New Essential Guide to Gay and Lesbian
Weddings" by Tess Ayers and Paul Brown. Read on...

Beijing - Planet Pavement
There is no dedicated gayborhood, per se.
Most nightlife, however, is western-focused, meaning that venues tend to
be mixed and accepting. Club Destination is, however, the epicenter of
Beijing`s gay scene.
While the gay scene is not as open or thumping as Shanghai, the
increasingly affluent, well-educated and forward-thinking younger
generation has carved out a scene that is both accessible and
interesting. Indeed, while Shanghai attempts to claim the top spot in
China, Beijing refuses to go down without a fight. Some things never
change. Read on...
