Georgia Voice

Georgia Voice The Georgia Voice by Rough Draft is the leading LGBTQ+ media organization in the South. Boyd worked for Southern Voice in sales in the 1990's.

The Georgia Voice is an LGBT media outlet that publishes daily online and in print every other Friday. The Georgia Voice is published by The Georgia Voice, LLC, which was co-founded by Laura Douglas-Brown, Tim Boyd and Christina Cash, who together have more than 25 years experience in managing the editorial and business departments of an Atlanta-based LGBT publication. Cash founded Southern Voice in 1988 and Douglas-Brown worked as a reporter there beginning in 1997 and was named Editor in 2006. Southern Voice closed on Nov. 16, 2009 and left Atlanta's le***an, gay, bisexual and transgender communities without a voice for the first time in almost 22 years. Profitable since 1993, Cash sold the newspaper was sold to Window Media in 1997 and it enjoyed continued success for almost a decade. Cash, Boyd and Douglas-Brown acted quickly to fill the void left by the demise of Southern Voice and launched GA Voice in March, 2010. We are grateful for the overwhelming support we have received from the community and look forward to serving our readers and advertisers for many years to come.

It has been a rough week for Gen X'ers and lovers of the art & entertainment world. RIP Jaye P. Morgan.

Morgan was one of the top female recording artists of the 1950s and later became a frequent talk show guest and game show panelist, infamously taking off her shirt on “The Gong Show.” Read more: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/entertainer-jaye-p-morgan-dies-at-94_n_6a8f6987e4b0a9d5e57c99dd?ncid_tag=fcbklnkushpmg00000024&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&utm_campaign=us_entertainment&d_id=12315178

RIP Yayoi Kusama

“One day, after gazing at a pattern of red flowers on the tablecloth, I looked up to see that the ceiling, the windows, and the columns seemed to be plastered with the same red floral pattern. I saw the entire room, my entire body, and the entire universe covered with red flowers, and in that instant my soul was obliterated and I was restored, returned to infinity, to eternal time and absolute space.” —Yayoi Kusama

Yayoi Kusama has passed away at 97. She was one of the twentieth century’s most influential and beloved artists. We send our condolences to her friends, family, and loved ones.

First Dolly Parton and now Tim Curry. đź’”

As home to a weekly Rocky Horror Picture Show screening every Friday night, with Atlanta’s longest running shadow cast LDoD, this loss hits incredibly hard.

Tim Curry didn’t just play Dr. Frank-N-Furter, he defined a movement of unapologetic joy, fearlessness, and absolute freedom. He gave generations of misfits a place to belong.

This Friday’s show is completely dedicated to the ultimate Sweet Transvestite. Let’s fill the room, do the Time Warp, and give him the loud, chaotic, beautiful send-off he deserves.

“Don’t dream it, be it.” Rest in peace, Legend.

RIP Tim Curry
