Today I was reading the Huffington Post, as I usually do to catch up on news and I stumbled across a tab called "queer voices." I don't think I would usually go to this page, but our class discussions about how the LGBTQ community is underrepresented in the media encouraged me to dive a little deeper.
To my pleasant surprise, the Huffington Post has a plethora of articles that relate to the LGBTQ community. These articles deal with politics as well as personal stories from the queer community. I think it is phenomenal that a well known paper has taken it upon themselves to have a page dedicated to a minority community in our society -- well done!
I think its incredible that the Huffington Post has made an effort to focus on LGBT issues and news, even more so through dedicating a page to this. The Huffington Post was created as a liberal news and commentary outlet, I only hope more conservative news outlets, such as Fox and the Wall Street Journal could take after HuffPo's initiative and appeal to their audiences with more LGBT related news.
