The Reno Gay Page is published monthly as a community
service by Peavine Mountain Media. The publication
began in January 2010 and was designed to be but a single
page, hence its name. However, the alive, active
gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, inquiring,
questioning and ally (GLBTIQA) community created the four
pages the paper is today.
At present, The Reno Gay Page does not
accept advertising. Some have asked why and the answer simply is
what would have to be charged for ads to print a large
number of papers is more than most businesses can handle
(of afford) in the present economy. That could change
one day but at present, no advertising. The paper is supported
by private donations from various members of the community.
Those who have supported the paper, Thank you.
The Reno Gay page has
actually been around since 2007, when the first test issue was produced to see
if there really
was a need for a community newspaper. The question was
posed and not a single answer was received. The project was
shelved. A
second test issue was produced following the 2008 Reno Gay Pride and AIDS Walk
weekends. The question
posed again,
Does Reno need a gay community
newspaper? This time, three people answered.
The Reno Gay
Page come to life because several members of the community leadership said it
just simply needed to be
and you are the only one that has been successful at
having a long term meaningful publication. So the birth of The Reno
Gay
Page came to be.
The paper is published the first of each month.
The deadline for the paper is the 23rd of the month preceding publication.
So
if you wanted something in the January paper it would have to be in by the 23rd
of December, etc.
As long as people continue to offer help and the two
volunteers that have stepped forward are around and available, the
Reno Gay
Page will continue.
