There are gay blogs, and there are political blogs, but until now there hasn't been much in the way of exclusively gay political blogs. That changes with the arrival of The Big Gay Picture (www.biggaypicture.com), a new blog from Erosion Media, creator of the popular websites, AfterEllen.com, AfterElton.com, AllGayNews.com, and FakeGayNews.com

"Most blogs are all over the place," says author and activist Brent Hartinger, one of The Big Gay Picture's three main writers. "But we are a gay political blog. Because we're targeted, we can be comprehensive."

According to Hartinger, the blog will feature interviews with both GLBT leaders and opponents, ongoing commentary, and updates on local and national gay political news.

"We really are giving the big gay picture!" Hartinger says.

Along with Hartinger, the blog will feature daily postings from Sarah Warn, editor of AfterEllen.com, and novelist and activist Michael Jensen.

"Any blog is a reflection of the personalities involved in writing it," Warn says. "And by God, we definitely have personality! We can be pointed, funny, impassioned, and sarcastic--sometimes all at the same time."

Finally, according to Jensen, The Big Gay Picture is also a community forum.

"Unlike most blogs, The Big Gay Picture allows users to prominently post their own commentary and analysis," Jensen says. "We've only just debuted, and things are already quite lively!"
