Be Gay or Leave

Dr. Bob, a New Olreans artist we have befriended, does all kinds of cool paintings. The one that we got the biggest kick out of last weekend was his Be Gay or Leave piece, a take off on his well known Be Nice or Leave.

That’s the first thing I thought of this morning when I saw the news that our portfolio company Planet Out Partners had filed to go public.

Planet Out is an amazing story and its largely a story of perseverance against enormous odds. Lowell Selvin and his team have built a great company which is now, in Lowell’s words, “the world’s largest media company serving the gay and lesbian market.” Kudos to Lowell and his team.
