Comments on: Queer Women Monetizing the Web http://cecily.info/2008/08/25/queer-women-monetizing-the-web/ they see me shushin', they hatin' Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:29:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Femmeflame http://cecily.info/2008/08/25/queer-women-monetizing-the-web/comment-page-1/#comment-147 Femmeflame Fri, 29 Aug 2008 23:06:48 +0000 http://cecily.info/?p=1568#comment-147 I was in the audience. Some of us were quite clear that we didn't think Interactive Male was doing the community any favours in any large enough way to make it special. I personally found it laughable the concept that it was responsible for Black men getting together in the Twin Cities area. If I understand correctly it is just a finger on a corporate hand that ain't all about queer love and community. Butch-Femme.com has been struggling for a very long time. Last year it almost went under. I would not put it in the money-maker catagory but for sure it's a part of the longeveity gallery. I was a part of of it for many yeats starting in 1999. I was in the audience.

They weren't originally, though. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AfterEllen.com" target="_blank">Wikipedia says</a> Sarah Warn started it in 2002, and Logo bought it in 2006. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(TV_channel)" target="_blank">Wikipedia also says</a> that the Logo EVP and GM is a woman (Lisa Sherman). But Logo is owned by Viacom so you know what that means. Oh, yeah, you're right about the Logo ownership. They weren't originally, though.

I think it's really more a woman thing more than it's a queer thing, but I think the double minority may make folks even more hesitant about the perception of taking advantage of people whom you are trying to help. AfterEllen?

I'd thought about ButchFemme.com after the discussion I had on Saturday, but wasn't sure how well they were doing/if they were charging money (I hadn't stopped by there in a long time).
