We recently contributed to an interview in Business Equality Magazine on behalf of the partnership we're a part of with Brand | Pride .  The following are some excerpts from that interview that shine a spotlight on some of the unique things we're doing here at Pink Banana Media and the #ILoveGay Network .

As part of our overall blog posting series on the LGBT TwitterSphere , we're here to introduce the #ILoveGay network and how it fits into the LGBT Twitter ecosystem . What is #ILoveGay and what does it do?  Simply put, #ILoveGay is a network of LGBT Twitter profiles, each focused on a particular niche in the LGBT online community.  Some are unique to a specific region of the world, such as  @ILoveGayPS and @ILoveGayNYC , while others focus on niche communities within the LGBT online community, such as  @ILoveLGBTBiz and @ILoveGayHistory .  The entire set of #ILoveGay profiles can be viewed online here: www.ilovegay.lgbt .
