Gay Life June 2012

Welcome to the All-new,
Monthly Gay Life!

As regular Gay Life readers will notice, things have changed around here. Gay Life is now a monthly publication with improved paper quality, expanded distribution, and extended editorial coverage.

With this move we aim to offer a comprehensive lifestyle publication for Maryland’s LGBT community. We’ll still bring you the great coverage you’ve come to expect from Gay Life—there will just be more of it! Plus, each issue will be divided into new categories with a greater variation of content.

This issue is also your Official Guide to Baltimore Pride 2012!

Here you will find lines-ups and schedules, Block Party and Festival maps, performer bios, and information on everything from Twilight on the Terrance to the Pride Parade. Oh, and a profile on Pride Headliner Neon Hitch!

In short, everything you need to enjoy Baltimore Pride.

My excitement for Pride season echoes my excitement about the holidays, and sometimes sporting events—there is something wonderful about strangers and friends alike celebrating together, as if we’re all finally on the same team. Pride means laying aside our struggles, cynicism, and any thoughts of our opponents, and celebrating our united vision of a truly equal world. I’m really proud to be a part of it.

As Pride weekend approaches, check out BaltimorePride.org for information and updates. Also visit us on Facebook (Glccb) and Twitter (@glccb). While you’re there, leave us comments and let us know how you like our new look. And don’t forget to pick up our July issue (published 6/29/2012) which promises to have the best of Pride weekend photos!

Subsequent monthly issues will be available on the final Friday of each month. In the meantime… enjoy!
