“Where would an openly gay or lesbian, bisexual or transgender appointee or elected official make the most difference during the next administration?”
That’s the question the folks at Logo’s 365gay News posed to me and a number of others, including GLSEN director Kevin Jennings, former GLAAD director Joan Garry, former and current HRC directors Elizabeth Birch and Joe Solmonese, PFLAG director Jody Huckaby, furniture maven Mitchell Gold, and actor Rue McClanahan, as well as bloggers like Good As You’s Jeremy Hooper and Queerty’s Andrew Belonsky. See our answers here. I’m honored to be in such company, and happy to see such a diverse set of answers.
Logo asked the question to help celebrate today’s launch of 365gay News, “the first-ever, multi-platform, on-air, online news hub for the LGBT audience.” The hub will include 365gay.com, a long-running LGBT news site, as well as a half-hour magazine-style LGBT news show produced by CBS News, airing on Logo’s cable TV channel Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT.
This won’t, luckily, conflict with out lesbian Rachel Maddow’s new show on MSNBC, which will run weeknights at 9:00 p.m. ET.. This means you can wallow in as much news coverage by and for LGBT people as you can handle (at least if the kids go to sleep on time).
