Southern Voice, Atlanta’s 21-year-old gay and lesbian weekly newspaper, has turned its last pages after closing because of financial reasons. Southern Voice joins David Atlanta, a publication about gay nightlife, which also closed because of financial reasons.
Window Media LLC owns the publications and shut down various gay publications this past weekend. Window Media is the largest gay and lesbian newspaper publisher in the nation.
