WASHINGTON, Sep 12, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Window Media LLC, the nation's largest gay publishing group, congratulates the Washington Blade for another historic week of news coverage. Democratic presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama, "Vows to fight for full federal recognition of couples in civil unions, domestic partnerships," in an exclusive interview available in print today--or online at www.washblade.com.

This week's Washington Blade also features an intimate interview by Lou Chibbaro, Jr. with Senator Barack Obama's gay mentor -- openly gay political science professor Lawrence Goldyn -- credited by Senator Obama as being a "strong influence" in his understanding of gay people and their rights. A feature story by Blade reporter Joey Diguglielmo captures a poignant coming out story of popular gospel singer, Ray Boltz, including his journey and struggle for acceptance in the conservative world of gospel music. According to the Rainbow History project of Washington, DC, the nation's oldest gay newspaper is the Washington Blade, which is also recognized as the gay community's newspaper of record for the country.
