The Washington Blade was founded in 1969 as a black & white, one-sheet community newsletter. In 2014 the Blade celebrated its 45th anniversary as America’s Gay News Source. The Blade was selected to join the pool rotation for the White House Press Corps, becoming the first LGBT publication to participate in these duties. Readers locally and globally rely on the Blade’s unmatched coverage, earning the paper the moniker “Newspaper of Record for the LGBT Community.”
