Biographical / Historical
Bay Windows was first published in 1983 in Boston, Massachusetts. It was founded by Sasha Alyson, although it was later sold to James Hoover in 1985 and then to Jeff Coakley and Sue O'Connell in 2003. Alyson originally wanted to create a gay and lesbian newspaper that included more local and political coverage. Of particular note is the paper's reporting on the legalization of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts in 2004, along with its reporting on former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romeny's changing stance on LGBT issues. As of 2011, the publication also includes an insert called Golden Rainbow Times, which is a monthly newsletter for LGBT senior citizens.
