LETTER<br />
The annual L.A. <strong>Pride</strong> festival and<br />
parade are major events for the City<br />
of West Hollywood. And they also are<br />
major events for Greater Los Angeles.<br />
That’s one reason why we decided to<br />
give LA <strong>Pride</strong> its own major presence<br />
in this issue of West Hollywood<br />
Magazine. But we also want to call out<br />
GayLifeLA, the only publication that<br />
actually covers the LGBTQ community<br />
in Greater Los Angeles.<br />
GayLifeLA.com currently is a welltrafficked<br />
website. Our hope is also<br />
to turn it into a complementary<br />
print publication. No, we won’t be<br />
publishing stories about what Donald<br />
Trump did two weeks ago or about the<br />
inside fights in the state Democratic<br />
Party. There are other local gay<br />
publications that do that. Our focus<br />
will be on the life and culture of our<br />
various communities in Los Angeles<br />
County and on the people who are<br />
part of those cultures.<br />
Bears, pups, otters, dykes,<br />
twinks, daddys – we have<br />
them covered. Health and<br />
fitness? We know we have<br />
some unique issues and<br />
unique passions there. We’ve<br />
got them covered. Our everevolving<br />
social scene – bars<br />
and clubs, Grindr and Scruff<br />
– we’re on top of it. Our local<br />
heroes (and local villains)? We<br />
also have our eye on them.<br />
Oh, and we’re published by real<br />
journalists, which means we publish<br />
the news without fear or favor.<br />
