Seattle's only gay newspaper--unless you count The Stranger--has been publishing its weekly for more than two decades.
Two sections, one devoted to national and local news, the other to arts and entertainment, with classifieds, at the very back, and the happenings, events, and meetings for the upcoming week, included.
Despite numerous typos, whole sections of a story left occasionally left dangling, inadvertently, the SGN, as it is usually referred, keeps the GBLT community abreast of events as they occur.
As is typical of Seattle newspapers, there is a lot of opinion thrown in and mixed with, for good measure, with the ostensibly "objective" news reporting, with not always a clear way of knowing which is which.
Serves as a cheering section for the GLBT community, an approach common to newspapers with a readership in need of reassurance that the Second Coming is coming or about to.
Be careful if you open up and read this newspaper on the bus or any other public venue. You may wind up with either a barely disguised look of shock or a bump on the head, depending on who happens to have looked over your shoulder: there are plenty of pretty steamy male advertisements that even I find pretty outre.
