Sal316 (1294 posts) Mar-12-03, 07:39 PM (ET) Anyone hear of the Seattle Gay News? Through the roundabout world of the internet, I have learned that the Seattle Gay News is interested in publishing my account of going to to the 'kill 'em all' rally. It's kind of a long convoluted kind of a thing of how it came to be. KelleyKramer asked to spread the word by email, I agreed. One thing led to another and now they want to publish the story. So.. has anyone heard of this paper? "Peace is not the product of terror or fear. Peace is not the silence of cemeteries. Peace is not the silent result of violent repression. Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all. Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity. It is right and it is duty." -Oscar Romero "My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together." -Archbishop Desmond Tutu   Alert Edit | Reply | Top

Armstead (7544 posts) Mar-12-03, 08:19 PM (ET) 1. I used to live in Seattle and remember them Back in the 1970's and 80's. I'm straight but used to work at a business that did business with them. Back then they were a good respectable paper and nice folks, as I recall. Haven't seen it for 20 years though, so can;t say anyhting about them today. "We need a two-party system again....At least." "Despite all appearances: A better world IS possible."   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Top

OurMorale (521 posts) Mar-13-03, 02:07 AM (ET) 3. Lived in Seattle 10 years ago, It was a paper I read every week, along with The Stranger (which was the first alt zine to publish Dan Savage). "With Man Gone is there Hope for Gorilla?" -- Daniel Quinn "Saturn in the 10th House or a Capricorn midheaven can make a person as mean as they come." -- Debbi Kempton Smith "To find a form that accommodates the mess, that is the job of the artist today." -- Samuel Beckett "A Paradox? An Oxymoron? Can't decide? Then it's a Paradoxymoron." -- (moi)   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Top

transeo (1248 posts) Mar-13-03, 02:46 PM (ET) 4. Yes It's an ok paper. Not very large and needs better editors, but sometimes they do some decent reporting. Image NO...WIRE...HANGERS!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Top

SOteric (996 posts) Mar-13-03, 03:29 PM (ET) 5. Yes. In Seattle now, and have been for years. They're respectable. Not an extremist journal by any regard. They're not in the caliber of national news, but one can feel reasonable comfortable and mildly flattered to have their interest in publishing an article.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Top

geniph (5633 posts) Mar-13-03, 06:43 PM (ET) 6. Yes, they've been around for years perfectly respectable local paper. ============= Geni Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else. --Theodore Roosevelt The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the public alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. --H. L. Mencken Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in a final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. --Dwight D. Eisenhower Speak your mind, even when your voice shakes. --Maggie Kuhn   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Top
