Two weeks ago, NGLCC’s 3rd LGBT Summit of the Americas made history in Lima, Peru. Following the inaugural LGBT Summit of the Americas in Colombia in 2012 and last year’s summit in Mexico, NGLCC was pleased to bring the third rendition of the series to Peru’s capital city. The event not only provided an unparalleled opportunity to assemble LGBT business leaders and corporate diversity professionals from across the Americas, but also served as the public launch of NGLCC’s newest international affiliate chamber, the Peruvian GLBT Chamber of Commerce (CCGLPE).

11 Long-Gone Publications That Shaped '70s NYC | LGBTQ+ Online Media, Marketing and Advertising | Scoop.it

HX MAGAZINE - Marc Berkley and Matthew Bank founded this weekly bar mag (full name Homo Xtra), and I was regularly featured in it, and once even wrote some kind of wacky, autobiographical poem for them. Berkley wanted to bring sex and fun back to the community, so the mag included celeb interviews, gogo boy pictorials, theater and restaurant reviews, bar gossip, and lots of listings. In 2009, HX was sold to its rival, Next, which then folded it.

Press Pass Q - Pressing Questions: Curve, the national lesbian magazine

Press Pass Q - Pressing Questions: Curve, the national lesbian magazine | LGBTQ+ Online Media, Marketing and Advertising | Scoop.it
The L is often forgotten in marketing to the LGBTQI community and while we hear that print and digital advertising has bounced back from the economic downturn, we still fight the ignorance of marketers who believe lesbians do not buy anything, to create specific budgets and campaigns for the lesbian demographic.
Matt Skallerud's insight:
Johns: The biggest change has been in the shift from print to digital. We now offer a responsive website, interactive magazine and mobile app. Due to the digital offerings, we are reaching a wider audience than before. Also, we have successfully introduced more lifestyle content such as travel, fashion, food, wine, and also tracked social developments such as marriage equality, adoption, and the profile of older lesbians living richer or sustainable lives.
