R.I.P.

So sad.

Windows Media LLC, the nation's largest gay newspaper publisher, was closed this morning. The publishers were responsible for publications like the Southern Voice, Washington Blade, Houston Voice and South Florida Blade.

As of this morning, all of newspapers were shut down.

Shame.

Is this the problem of the economy or is this a sign of the gay community not supporting itself. Its easy to say that it is the economy that is at fault, but a rag magazine which cost who knows how much, that is focused not on the general economy but a subset of that economy is not effected by the general economy. Therefore a gay community is at fault and should be more responsible to economy of the gay community and they have led these magazines to bankruptcy. .

No one wants to support bitter flaming bitches like Perez, who have done more to harm the gay community's image than the loss of a few publications ever could. Way to go Perez. Jerks like you make homophobia fun.

Think of how easy it will be for the New World Order to re-write history now that everything is "going paperless". Lying about history is now just a click and "delete" button away!!

There are some old articles on news sites that they have deleted entirely. Going paperless is great for the government to commit crimes against the people and have NO EVIDENCE.
