Welcome to Project Q Atlanta

Q is for queer. You already know that. Project Q Atlanta is much more.

The word itself, a slur whose power we proudly reclaim for ourselves, is our inspiration. It symbolizes a look into our diverse identities, the way we connect and associate with each other, and the prism through which we view our lives.

For gay men, lesbians, transgender people, and all of those that make up our queer village, Project Q Atlanta provides a distinct take on the news, information, events, attitudes — and the juicy dish and buzz — that impact our lives. We combine the authority of traditional journalism with the tone and sensibility of today that makes you feel right at home.

We’re already making an impact. That’s according to the readers of Southern Voice, who named us Best Gay Blog in July 2009.

Project Q Atlanta aims to be a major part of your queer media diet by offering opinionated blog entries, breaking news, an interactive community calendar and event photos for LGBT readers across the region.

And it’s not a one-way affair. We aim to provide an engaging experience that connects and interacts with you. There are stories to tell and you should participate.

Like the word “queer” itself, Project Q Atlanta is evolved and stands for so much more. It’s a commitment to keep you informed and entertained while you go about living your life.

Project Q Atlanta. It’s gay. It’s today. It’s Atlanta.
