The Victors Among Us

Last week, I was in Washington, DC for the NLGJA—that's the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists' Association—Convention. It was great to speak with other LGBT journalists—some of whom work for the LGBT media and others who work for the mainstream media—about challenges and triumphs.

The state of LGBT media is in flux—just like mainstream media. There are mergers and closings as well as people needing to find new job opportunities and folks who have landed the plum assignments. It was a great few days but not without a bit of controversy. It seems Brian Fitzpatrick from the Culture and Media Institute was on hand to report about the convention to his Radical Christian Right buddies.
