In
the
past
decade,
South
Florida
has
witnessed
growth
in
its
Gay,
Lesbian,
Bisexual
and
Transgender
(GLBT)
community
that
was
literally
unimaginable
at
the
dawn
of
the
millennium.
A
population
of
roughly
180,000
individuals
that
was
scattered
from
the
Palm
Beaches,
Broward
and
into
what
was
then
called
Dade
County
has
exploded
into
a
potent
and
geographically-­‐linked
force
living
in
predominantly-­‐gay
exurbs
(notably
in
South
Beach,
Victoria
Park
and
Wilton
Manors)
that
is
likely
to
reach
500,000
individuals
in
just
the
next
few
years.
In
word
and
deed,
this
renaissance
has
truly
given
new
definition
to
the
rallying
cry
“We’re
here,
we’re
queer.”
It
was
only
a
matter
of
time
before
such
a
diverse
and
economically
powerful
community
would
want
a
source
of
news
and
information
that
was
geared
to
its
unique
needs.
In
January
2000,
attorney
and
activist
Norm
Kent
answered
that
call,
with
the
publication
of
The
Express,
Florida’s
first
truly
GLBT
source
of
local
and
national
news,
health
and
fitness
information,
entertainment
and
business.
The
impact
of
The
Express
was
felt
far
outside
South
Florida,
with
national
and
international
recognition
quickly
accruing,
and
a
rush
by
some
of
the
best-­‐known
names
and
minds
of
the
day
to
publish
their
views
and
ideas
within
its
pages.
The
Express
filled
an
important
niche
in
the
life
of
South
Florida’s
expanding
GLBT
community.
And
then,
in
2003,
it
literally
became
history.
In
spite
of
the
exponential
growth
of
the
region
and
its
GLBT
population
during
the
ensuing
years,
no
publication
stepped
in
to
fill
the
breach
and
offer
the
degree
of
factual,
thought-­‐provoking
journalism
The
Express
provided
South
Florida
and
its
GLBT
citizens.
Until
now.
In
December
2009,
Norm
Kent
announced
the
inauguration
of
a
new
publication
to
serve
the
unique
and
varied
needs
of
South
Florida
and
its
fast-­‐growing
GLBT
community.
SouthFloridaGayNews.com
joins
the
traditions
of
investigative
and
informational
print
journalism
with
the
real-­‐time
impact
and
urgency
of
24-­‐
hour
Online
News,
and
brings
it
to
our
readers
in
a
concise,

From
interviews
with
local
news-­‐makers
to
the
latest
information

HIV/AIDS,
South
Florida
has
not
seen
this
degree
of
GLBT
journalism.
Until
now.

MEDIA GUIDE 2010
South Florida is home to one of the most di-
verse and dynamic Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual and
Transgender communities in the world, with
metropolitan GLBT population numbers in
our area expected to top 500,000 in just
the next couple of years. Our communityÕ s
stories are as unique as the individuals who
live them. Such a potent force in the cul-
ture, economics and politics of the region
deserves a source for news and information thatÕ s as
dedicated as the people we write for and about.
The first decade of the 21st Century has seen a GLBT renaissance in South Florida, including the gentrifi-
cation of numerous Ò gayborhoodsÓ in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Issues facing GLBT
persons are numerous and complex, from partnership and employment benefits to adoption and civil lib-
erties, marriage rights, health care and end-of-life choices. Such a varied agenda deserves careful reporting
and thorough analysis. At SFGN, we have writers and columnists with the background and credentials to
help you come up with real world answers for our lives. WeÕ re SFGN: Gay News. Straight Facts.
local news
From the openly gay sheriff Õ s deputy who preyed upon undocumented immigrant men, to the
nation’s second-highest-ranked openly-gay municipal official (Broward County Mayor Ken
Keechl, whose top-spot-title was usurped when Houston elected its own openly-gay
mayor), South Florida is both a microcosm of news for the greater GLBT nation at
large and an epicenter for events of wider-ranging import - ground zero for numer-
b le: ous GLBT issues. We look at local news and events and report it from all angles,
