Letter
from the Editor Announcing our Acquisition by Logo (June
5, 2006)
I started AfterEllen.com
in 2002 as a hobby because I couldn’t find anything,
online or offline, that focused on queer women in entertainment.
Four years later, it has turned into the largest lesbian website
on the Internet, and more than a full-time job for me.
A
little over a year ago, I started AfterElton.com,
and handed the editorial reigns over to Michael Jensen, who’s
done an excellent job making it the premiere destination for
and about gay and bisexual men in entertainment.
Today,
I am happy to announce that Erosion Media, the company I started
with my partner which owns AfterEllen.com, AfterElton.com,
and three other gay and lesbian websites, has been acquired
by Logo,
the LGBT cable channel and entertainment source from MTV Networks.
This is a great fit for us, because the folks at Logo are
just as committed to LGBT entertainment as we are, and their
expertise in television and authentic content creation and
programming is an excellent complement to our online experience.
So
what does this mean for AfterEllen.com and AfterElton.com?
