                   GAY DAZE BRINGS 7TH ANNUAL GLAAD
                          MEDIA AWARDS ONLINE



Los Angeles, CA [http://www.gaydaze.com] -  Gay Daze, first gay and lesbian
cybernet drama on the Internet, will bring the 7th annual GLAAD Media Awards
on-line by sponsoring a live, on-line chat at the event.  The Media Awards will take
place on March 10 in Los Angeles and New York.  This will be the first gay and
lesbian event to be chronicled in cyberspace.

The 7th Annual Media Awards, sponsored by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against
Defamation (GLAAD), honors individuals and programs that have supported the
cause of dignity and equal rights for lesbians and gay men.  This year's recipients will
include ABC News correspondent Barbara Walters for Excellence in Media, and Sid
Sheinberg for his efforts to establish domestic partnership benefits at MCA and other
major entertainment studios.

Gay Daze (http://www.gaydaze.com), which was launched in December 1995, is the
first gay and lesbian episodic series on the Internet.  Set in Southern California, it
follows the lives of six friends as they navigate the freeways of love and life in Los
Angeles.

"We're tremendously excited to be part of the Media Awards," states Arlene Krantz,
executive producer of GAY DAZE and president of Gay Entertainment Multimedia. 
"Not only do we want to entertain our audience, but we want to connect them with the
community, and we can do that by being involved with events like this."

Adds Helen Mendoza, producer/creative director, "it's a premiere media event for our
industry and community, and we're honored to be working closely with GLAAD to
bring the Media Awards to a wider audience."

GAY DAZE is creating a special Media Awards Chatroom where visitors can join the
Media Awards party.  A moderator at the event will provide commentary, and visitors
to the chatroom will be able to talk to celebrities and guests who are at the event.  The
Media Awards Chatroom will open at 8:00 p.m. EST/5:00 p.m. PST on March 10.

GAY DAZE is an episodic website featuring six characters that posts new entries
every day.  The website launched its chat area, Boulevard de Chat, on February 29. 
The GLAAD Media Awards will also be the initial event for another new site feature,
GAY DAZE LIVE!, where Gay Daze will present community special events live,
on-line.



GAY DAZE is produced by the Gay Entertainment Multimedia in Los Angeles, CA
which produces entertainment programming targeted to the gay and lesbian
community.
