Not yet. As one of the leading Generals of our future Gay Republic, I am sure we will have them. I am personally also working on a few devious new weapons such as the "Pink Bomb," which will give us the authority we will need to let those other countries know we mean business, even if our some of our commandos do wear boas.

Report: Gay media grows faster than mainstream
--- Quote ---CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Ad revenue at gay and lesbian publications continues to grow faster than in the mainstream press -- expanding at almost three times the mainstream rate over the last decade -- according to a new report.
Total ad spending in gay- and lesbian-oriented publications hit a record $223.3 million last year, up 5.2% from 2005 and better than triple the 1996 figure, according to the Gay Press Report, an annual survey produced by ad agency Prime Access Inc. and gay media representative firm Rivendell Media.
Over the past 10 years, ad revenue for all consumer magazines grew at a compound annual rate of 4% versus an 11.8% pace for gay-targeted media.

... And a quick editorial note for those peculiar people who criticize GLAAD's media awards for not including Gay media -- "mainstream" means "not Gay," as in "straight."

Towleroad tells us that Seattle has a new 'mo magazine -- thoughtfully named " 'Mo ". The 'zine has a web site, but the online version isn't quite there yet. Says the editor,
--- Quote ---"We're not a bar mag. ... You're not going to see a lot of 20-year-old men in their underwear. We're both 40-something gay men, so the magazine probably hangs out at the 30-plus-year-old range. And we've gotten great feedback about that. People like to look for themselves... "

Hmmm. That they do. There is, however, much to be said for "a lot of 20-year-old men in their underwear" (or not in their underwear, as the case may be). They should reconsider. ;)

The 30-year-plus ones are probably somewhat cheaper, you must understand this is a new magazine. =)) As for example, the GRD can't afford even this luxury. :(
