NLGJA: Headlines and Headliners

A room full of gay writer/editor/blogger types, media celebrities and an open bar? Yeah, I'm in heaven. I've said it before but I'll say it again: if you're a gay journalist then you need to check out the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association. The name may not exactly roll off the tongue, but it's a great way to make industry contacts -- and if you're not careful, you might make some great friends too. Thanks to everybody who made the night so special.
