According to a media release from Richard Helfant, the president of the Greater Atlantic City Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) Alliance, the organization will launch a new Web site on Thursday, Oct. 1.
“It’s been too long for members of the Atlantic City region GLBT community not to have a Web site dedicated to their interests,” say Helfant in the release. “Specific to our community but open to everyone, the new Web site will offer a variety of information from attractions to businesses and services available within the Atlantic City region.”
The new Web site will also provide information to visitors of the Atlantic City region regarding GLBT-friendly accommodations, attractions, casino resorts, shopping, nightlife, entertainment and more. A dedicated calendar of events would be especially attractive to the GLBT visitor, along with information on the popular Miss’d America Pageant to take place on January 16, 2011 and other related events. The site is not, however, limited to GLBT-oriented organizations alone, as it will provide information on a variety of businesses and services as well.
The Greater Atlantic City GLBT Alliance is a private, non-profit, membership-supported organization dedicated to promoting a better economic, social and political advocacy of GLBT interests, and GLBT-supportive business and citizens in the greater Atlantic City region.

“It’s never too late to improve health. Most of us think about it long before we start. We’re here to help you get over that motivational hump. There’s no better day than the present. Your health is your wealth.”
John Schultz is quick to point out that the Brass Rail, a 12-seat bar sited off a one-way side street in midtown Atlantic City, was not the catalyst to what was once a thriving social scene for the area’s gay community. That existed long before he purchased the bar in 1971, he says.
ATLANTIC CITY — Paint the town rainbow — the gay community is flocking full force back to the city that’s always turned on! Recently Atlantic City's first in-casino gay bar, Prohibition nightclub at Resorts, opened its doors to tremendous hoopla, and with that club’s success came the emergence of another GLBT-themed establishment — one that had been a pioneer during the first giant wave of gay clubs that helped spawn a thriving GLBT community in the seaside resort during the 1970s and 1980s. Can lightning strike twice? The Brass Rail — once part of the Club Tru complex created by John Schultz and partner Gary Hill — will have its formal grand re-opening in a weekend-long affair starting Friday, July 29, with an invite-only party from 7-9pm Friday. After 9pm the club opens to the public, and the fun doesn’t end until Monday, Aug. 1, at 6am. Presented by Stoli vodka, the gala will include an appearance by Claudia DuMont, who will be accompanied by the New York City Strippers, starting midnight Friday. On Saturday at midnight “Faresa” performs, and on Sunday from 9pm-1am guests will be treated to the outlandish antics of Lady La Belle — one of the popular contestants from the recently resurfaced...

At 25, David walked away from doing huge events for companies like NARS, a top makeup company, and Saks 5th Avenue. Jim McGowan and he moved to Atlantic City five years ago because they wanted change, immediately starting the renovation of an Arctic Avenue property. Turning quartz into a diamond. Why Atlantic City?
Resorts Casino Hotel will host the final casting calls for a new LGBT reality series, produced by Under The Boardwalk Productions, at Boogie Nights on Friday, March 18, beginning at 4pm.
Funny thing is, it’s the casinos and land speculators who first closed and knocked down gay businesses that thrived for 100 years in Atlantic City. Now, money’s tight, and they’re sorry they did.
There’s something magical that happens when Atlantic City businessmen start thinking about pageants — and marketing — at the same time. Beloved and cherished traditions that last for decades can be born.
