The Washington Blade, serving our community for 40 years, has closed its doors for good.
While not totally surprising, the suddeness was a bit of a shock.
The question now -- what becomes of the Blade's archive? I would hate to think that this archive, which covers our history since Stonewall in 1969 to the upcoming vote in the DC City Council for marriage equality on Dec 1 (the Blade's last front page headline), will be lost.
