Your favorite Gay/Lesbian local publications?

Yep, I see that, too. But it's a fine line between support and pandering. One that I don't expect advertising to be too shy about crossing.



I guess the short answer is I'm a gay with disposal income, and I'd really like my kitchen cabinets re-done ... but I won't see your ad if you place it in Frontiers. I don't read that just because I'm gay, and I don't buy from their advertisers just because they seem gay friendly enough to take gay money.

Agreed. But you're basically saying that gay magazines should have absolutely no mainstream products advertised in them, 'cause that's just pandering. Personally, the only time I have a problem with it is if the company starts making excuses and/or pulling ads when some group or other gets their panties in a bunch about it. If they treat it as scandalous then screw 'em. But if they're advertising their because they want money from them, just like from any other human being, then by all means.
