America`s LGBT 2012 Buying Power Projected at $790 Billion
The total buying power of the U.S. lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) adult population for 2012 is projected to be $790 billion, according to an updated analysis by Witeck Communications.
This current year estimate is somewhat lower than earlier 5-year trend forecast and first published in 2007. This update adjusts the earlier estimate because the U.S. economy as whole experienced slower gains in total buying power (between 2008 and 2012) than originally forecast given the deep recession beginning in the third quarter of 2008.

She Built An
Empire And Raised A Dinah'sty!
She's created an unsurpassed phenomenon, built an impressive empire and raised a historical Dinah'sty ... all at only 22! While Ladies around the world traditionally get busy by now, obsessing, talking and planning for The Dinah, it is just as important to remind everyone about the woman who shines making a career working behind the scenes to produce THE most talked about Lesbian event year after year. And why not? After all, before The Dinah, there was Mariah - Mariah Hanson that is! Armed with steadfast courage, wit and a savvy sense of business, Hanson has grabbed the entrepreneurial torch - chasing dreams, breaking stereotypes and forging the way for the next generation of DYI moguls.
