This will be news to a few of you, but I recently started writing for DCist, the local arm of the Gothamist family; I signed on as their LGBT news blogger last month. In their 2007 Best of Gay DC survey, the Washington Blade recently named DCist as the Best Local Blog… with a plaque and everything!
Over the last few weeks, I have so far written about seven posts for DCist on local gay issues (2 are not listed on my author page) ranging from the fluffy to the serious. My most recent entry, about a gay couple who was recently kicked out of a local Rite Aid pharmacy for hugging, seems to be generating a good amount of buzz. As of right now, the post has 39 comments; 21 recommendations; and a couple other weblogs that picked up the story.
The New Gay is organizing a Hug-In at the Rite Aid on 13th and U — where the couple was kicked out — for tomorrow night before the annual 17th Street High Heel Race. It’s an open invite, but don’t tell Rite Aid.
