Are we losing our desire to read, to support gay businesses, or both? The oldest gay and lesbian book store in the country, the Oscar Wilde Bookstore in New York, is closing its doors. Here in Colorado, we lost Relatively Wilde (formerly Category Six), the Book Garden, and, finally, Word is Out in Boulder--all within a matter of a couple of years. Times are tough, folks, and sometimes independent stores have to charge a little more than, say, amazon.com, but what happens to our community when our culture disappears? - via Washington Blade
