- A little history behind the Advocate: The quality of the paper's articles was as uneven as the printing, but the Los Angeles Advocate had a clear voice. The editorial style was brash and pro-sex, with nude or nearly-nude men on many early covers. Articles explaining how to avoid police entrapment ran side by side with lifestyle pieces about movie stars and male fashion, and Michaels covered the gay liberation movement faithfully. In 1969 Michaels and Rand renamed the paper The Advocate and began national distribution. By 1974 press runs routinely ran to 40,000 copies, enough to attract the attention of a wealthy suitor from San Francisco named David Goodstein, an investment banker who had been fired from his job because he was gay. When he approached Michaels and Rand with an attractive offer, they agreed to sell.

- Easily the "New York Times" of the LGBTQ community. The website of the bi-weekly print edition. As a source for gay news, this site provides far more depth and comment than either planetout.com or 365gay.com, much like the difference between Newsweek or Time versus a newspaper or the news on the radio or TV. All three sites compliment each other nicely. The Advocate's website parallels the print magazine, but both have articles not found in one or the other. Read both the print version and the website to get everything.
