• Uncovering America's Gay History

  Next week's PGN, along with 28 newspapers across the country, will begin to celebrate October as Gay History Month. This is the largest gay history project of any type, anywhere ever: Our combined print run alone is over 650,000. The 29 newspapers and magazines are in every major city in America and, with our web traffic, the numbers are staggering. Our newspaper has been involved with this project since the beginning and, each year, I sometimes feel that the community doesn't really care. But all of a sudden this year, there is enthusiasm like I've never seen before. And that is borne out with those numbers. And with what the writers discovered. We clearly make the case that historians have hidden - closeted - the LGBT community's contributions to building and preserving this country.

• 365gay to Shut Its Doors

  Editor Jennifer Vanasco's signoff message from 365gay.com:

  September 30 will be our last day of operations. Logo has shifted its online strategy and so the site is closing and I am moving on to other things. You've probably noticed in the past year or so that more and more space was devoted to Ask the Expert. That feature will live on at another site and I hope you will continue to see some of your favorite contributors there, like Herman Chan, Joe Kort and Steven Petrow.
