GAYinWA is pleased to launch our new logo, created by Brett Nickisson of bnething design.
We thank everyone who gave us their feedback on our two choices, both in our poll and via email and Facebook messages. It was a difficult choice, but we decided on a logo that we think strikes the right balance between our rainbow heritage and our communications future.
This new logo represents a futuristic computer monitor delivering high quality lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans content - which is what we strive to do.
Picking a new logo is never easy, but we think we have settled on a symbol that is uniquely ours. We hope you like it too.

Australia's first GLBT retirement village is expected be built in the Victorian country town of Ballan, after a private developer received council approval for the development. Developer Peter Dickson lodged plans for 120 self-contained units and a
residential centre in a $26 million village.
An activist who won a battle against anti free speech laws in New South Wales yesterday says the Iemma Labor Government should provide the same financial support to the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras as it did for the Catholic Church’s World Youth Day.
Young people consider World Youth Day “irrelevant” and the Catholic Church “out of touch” according to a survey conducted by online social networking site MySpace, and Sydney-based protesters agree.
George Pell's assertion that Australia must populate or perish is at odds with the Pope's view that Catholics must find a style of life that eases the problems caused to the environment. Not that Pell is worried about the environment - his real and unmentionable concern is Christians being outnumbered by Muslims.
Let’s get this straight, so to speak. I like my Abba songs to be performed by Abba. I
also happen to think that (setting aside Abba: The Movie) Muriel’s Wedding was
the last statement in Abba films.
If you love Abba you are going to see Mamma Mia! The Movie, right? You
don't need anyone to tell you whether it's any good. So, let me just
tell you what the Perth premiere was like for me. There were moments
when my life flashed before my eyes.
News that protesters may be stopped from delivering peaceful messages
challenging the teachings of the Catholic Church during Pope Benedict's
visit to Australia not only undermines the right to freedom of speech, but it is also a
terrible outcome for the church and all who come in contact with it.
I have been slowly transforming my jacket - it's gold and silver. I
have added wings, feathers and trill. Add new contacts and black knee
high boots, along with silver pants, and I do get some looks when I
pull up at the lights. It's Spank and I am on my way.
The recent spate of same sex marriages is a timely Independence Day reminder of the unique capacity the United States has to be both the best of the world and the worst of the world. Jesus, get your gun!
Whilst travelling Europe over the June-July period I was sure to bump into at
least one pride festival, and sure enough, I found what I was looking for in
Berlin. You really don´t have to look far to find the thriving gay culture in
Berlin, summed up in their annual Christopher Street Day, the equivalent of our
Pride Parade.
A Greek court has found that the residents of the isle of Lesbos cannot came exclusive use of the term lesbian, much to the relief of millions of women worldwide. More on Reuters.
Another one bites the pillow?
Yet another hypocritical conservative anti-gay crusader has bitten the pillow. Notoriously homophobic Alabama Attorney General Troy King has been caught in bed with a male staffer. By his wife, no less. Read more here.
Madge: the queen of mean?
Madonna's younger brother, Christopher, has told all in a new biography of the queen of pop, or is that the queen of mean? Has he finally exposed what we all knew deep in our gay hearts, or is it all the rantings and ravings of an embittered also-ran? Scandalous and salacious snippets here, here and here,
John Vidovich joins the GAYinWA team

Man sues over bogus Bible passages
A gay man has filed suit against two Christian publishers over claims they altered passages in the Bible to depict homosexuality as sinful. Read more at gaywired.
YouTube previews the murder of Kath and Kim
The US is about to do what it did to The Office and Mr Bean, but thankfully not Queer as Folk, when the new version of Kath and Kim debuts on American TV shortly. Check out the trailer on YouTube.
Activists scrape together remnants of free speech
Gay and lesbian activists intend to risk the combined wrath of the Catholic Church, the police and New South Wales' right-wing ALP Government to exercise what's left of their right to free speech and protest during the Pope's visit to Sydney for World Youth Day. More here, here and here.
Respect missing in pregnant man stories
US activists claim the media blitz on Thomas Beatie, the now notorious pregnant transman, has brought more recognition to transgender issues but has not delivered greater respect to the people. Beatie gave birth to a daughter on 3 July. More here (free site pass required).
