Gaze Magazine

There is another publication that services the gay and lesbian community but I heard that the under 35 demographic wanted something less issue heavy and with more of a human face,” says publisher JohnWilliams, "We aim to appeal to the young, old, gay and straight."

Atlantic Canada's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community will boast a new voice when Halifax-based Gaze Magazine publishes its inaugural issue next month. The free, ad-supported glossy will be available in print and on-line July 12, just in time for gay pride celebrations throughout the region.
Publisher-editor JohnWilliams says he hopes Gaze will appeal to a variety of audiences - young and old, gay and straight. "Gaze aims to not only embrace the diversity of the GLBT community, but further promote tolerance and understanding among those who may still be struggling to comprehend it.
Williams says his new publication aims to be fun and informative, without being preachy.
Gaze's first issue will be 32 pages in length and include among its regular offerings news stories; fashion and photography layouts; book, movie and restaurant reviews; questionnaires completed by successful members of the GLBT community; in-depth features on GLBT issues and much more. Williams says the initial print run will be 10,000 copies.
