The New Gay was founded in October, 2007, by three gay men who were frustrated with monolithic queer culture and all of it’s limited offerings. Seeing as most current queer media caters to a very specific audience and lifestyle, we thought it was a good time to start a publication which caters to the entire queer experience. Men, women and transfolk. Indie kids. Dorks. History buff and athletes. While many of these people would feel left out in the cold by some of the other gay blogs, they all have a home at The New Gay.

Our ideal advertisers would reflect this diversity in our audience. Gay and lesbian dating and social networking sites appeal to our readers, but so do movies and record releases. Queer advertisers are welcome, but straight and general interest businesses can have a home here as well. We are interested in local as well as national advertisers that meet our goals of providing queer people with opportunities for enhancing their lives.

In the month of October 2008, The New Gay received nearly 15,000 unique visitors and 65,000 page views. Currently based in Washington, D.C., we are in the process of a national launch. This launch is encouraged by the fact that the site is visited by readers in all 50 states on a weekly basis.

If you are interested in advertising with The New Gay, please email advertising@thenewgay.net.

Sincerely,
Zack, Ben and Michael
