Lets here it for hometown newspapers! I agree, many gay publications *do*
make us, as a group, look bad. The vast majority are pornographic to one
degree or another, and many of the rest at least have pretty raunchy ads.
Even Christopher Street is tending to get more that way. And even if they
don't have nudes, etc. the content of many of these magazines tends to weak,
filled by collumns extolling the wonders of sex, etc. I could flame on this
point, but I won't.  (I will if I'm invited though). In fairness, I've got to
admit that Christopher Street and the Advocate carry pretty good pieces
sometimes. But it would be nice to have a magazine that was more devoted to
non-sexual items like politics, events, etc. 

Anyway, I would recommend the newspaper from my hometown. It's not real big
or anything (average 20 pages/issue, I think. 1/2 size newspaper format).
It's called "Mom...Guess What!" and it's from Sacramento, California. The
address is "MGW; 1400 S St., Suite 100; Sacramento, California 95814. The
cost is $12/year.
