Chicago’s leading LGBT website welcomes respected and influential contributors
Chicago, IL -
Celebrating its tenth year as the leading provider of online news and entertainment for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in the Midwest, ChicagoPride.com today announced the addition of several respected and influential new columnists and editors.
Sukie de la Croix, Gregg Shapiro and Rick Karlin have joined the GoPride.com Network's team of contributors, who already provide rich and varied content on a broad array of subjects for Chicago's LGBT community.
"The combined decades of experience and expertise that comes with these writers will provide tremendous value for our readers," said S. James Long, GoPride.com Executive Vice President and Content Chief.

His coverage of trends, personalities, entertainment, travel, dining, fashion and decorating have appeared locally in Metromix, Not for Tourists, Gay Chicago, GayLife , Chicago Free Press and the original Windy City Times.
