The Advocate, theadvocate.com, is a web publication for the queer community that functions as a space of celebration, connection, and information. The page is attractive, reminiscent of the Times web edition, and informs its upwardly-mobile audience with ads for 'gay European hotspots' as well as a little history and current mainstream events affecting the GLBT community; there are headlines concerning politics, youth, music, many on television, human rights, film , drugs, international news, equal rights, and activism. The publication is the community's equivalent of Newsweek- information and entertainment. It contains no editorials on the queer experience, nor does it offer legal advice or face the censorship and harassment gsy and lesbian newsources of the past we re subject- this is due to an overall exercise of freedom of speech, as well as a cultural shift.
