StiriGay.ro, affected by the financial crisis

Our website, StiriGay.ro was affected by the financial crisis. How could avoid it? Unfortunately it is not enough only to wish to do something for the things to work as planned.

StiriGay.ro is a project that appeared from the desire to move things a bit in theRomanian LGBT community. We started in full speed, bringing a lot of fresh news, mainly from abroad because in our country nothing seemed to happen.

We proposed that our interviews (that we did or translated in full or partially) to present real values of this community, controversial or not, but with impressive careers.

We were quoted by some of the most important LGBT media worldwide, especially during the Romanian Pride from Bucharest (we disagree with the official title of the Bucharest Gay Parade that is called Diversity March so we are calling it a Pride although it is not a real Pride yet).

Generally, we found more support and understanding abroad.

I can't say the same thing about Romania. From the moment we launched the website, there were a few hysterias, all childish and useless. We argued with Romania's main LGBT organization, Accept and with the other LGBT media from the market, only because we said our opinion about some things.

Apparently, the communist method is still working here. Probably we should applaud and praise everybody who pretends to do something for the LGBT community but they didn't although they should do something.

We overcome everything... except the CRISIS... The crisis in advertising, the crisis of investors, etc. (If someone reads this and thinks he could help us, give us an e-mail!)

All this makes the enthusiasm to be not enough. The volunteerism is crisis times is almost zero and I can't blame anybody because he wants to work for pay instead of doing volunteer work and die from hunger...

We believe in this project, we believe that someday StiriGay.ro will be a opinion leader in this community so we decided, for the moment, until we pass the financial problems, to refresh our website on weekly basis. Anyway, it is better than nothing!

We need you, our readers, we need your opinions pro or against but always in common sense. Be next to us. We are open to new ideas so don't hesitate to write us.

We expect you to be more "active" on the website and let's make together from StiriGay.ro a gay news leader in Romanian LGBT community.

Thank you and we love you all!!!
