A new gay catalog featuring products from gay-owned and -operated
companies (about 75%) and gay-friendly businesses will feature a
collection of fashions for both men and women, books, personal care
products, home furnishings, collectibles, accessories, and entertainment
items.  According to promoters of the new catalog, 10% of all net
profits will reach gay and AIDS charities.  Consumers will be able to
choose from a list of widely supported organizations to receive
donations.  Most of Made in Gay America's suppliers and wholesalers will
also allocate part of their net profits to community causes.

In the fall of this year, Made in Gay America will also air
hour-long "infomercials" on local cable systems nationwide.  It will
mark the first time a gay-owned and -operated company has taken
advantage of TV in this way.

To order a Made in Gay America catalog, call (800) USA-GAYS or write to
1123 Broadway #206, New York NY 10010.

    In this country, the definition of "mainstream" is so narrow,
    it's not a stream at all, it's a trickle.     -- Vicki Torres
