[edit] History
The New York Blade was started in 1997 as a New York edition of the Washington Blade. The original founding came under fire from gay rights advocates because of indications that Wilbur Ross would be involved with the paper.[1]
The paper, along with the Washington Blade, was acquired by Windows Media, LLC in 2001, making it part of the largest gay newspaper group in the world.[2]
