Echelon Magazine

Echelon Magazine is an online publication in America serving the LGBT business professional. Formerly the title also included a magazine with biographical profiles of corporate executives and entrepreneurs as well as features on businesses involving the GLBT community.[1] It was first published in January 2004 by publisher Michael Lamb. The magazine participated in an October 8, 2004 protest for equality.[2] The bi-monthly magazine sought to highlight the successes of gay and lesbian professionals. It was modeled after business magazines covering women, African-Americans and Asian-Americans. Contents included tips on finance, job hunting and business development for entrepreneurs, as well as coverage of the business environment for gays in various US cities. Print publication ceased, but the website and Facebook presence continues. The magazine was funded by private investors.[3]
