The New York Blade was a weekly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) newspaper in New York City, New York. The Blade was a member of the National Gay Newspaper Guild, and contains news, entertainment, classified ads, and free personals for men and women.
[edit] History
The New York Blade was started in 1997 as a New York edition of the Washington Blade. The original founding came under fire from gay rights advocates because of indications that Wilbur Ross would be involved with the paper.[1]
The paper, along with the Washington Blade, was acquired by Window Media, LLC in 2001, and then sold to HX Media in 2007. Kat Long succeeded Trenton Straube as editor-in-chief in February 2009. The paper ceased publication in July 2009.
