Just Out, the 28-year-old newsmagazine serving Portlands LGBTQ community, is done for, according to a short announcement posted on the site.
Effective December 26, 2011, Just Out newsmagazine, serving Portlands LGBTQ community since 1983, is no longer in business. Three years of recession have taken their toll. Please direct all inquiries to Marty Davis at marty@justout.com. Thank you for your many years of readership and support, the statement read in its entirety.
The paper had seven staffers on its masthead.
According to the Washington Blade, the demise of the most notable LGBT newspaper in the region is a significant development for a city that has generated several major LGBT news stories over the past several years. Youd think if a LGBT paper could make it anywhere, itd be in the second-largest city to have an openly gay mayor (Houston is #1).
You mean it’s not about record-setting gay origami?
Never mind.
Portland’s “Biggest” gay paper went out of business? You mean there are others in Portland?
I recently was in Portland Oregon.
Rehab clinics everywhere.
Panhandlers and bums and crappola everywhere.
What a crap hole.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning is the “official” definItion of the acronym.
Were you giggling when you wrote this, Rachel?
No gays in Portland??
