Our contributing writers were recently in the news with this nice plug from another gay site:

I think what I may have found most impressive of all, however, is the most-apparent cooperative spirit that emanates from this compassionate but still hard-hitting and very relevant site. This blog is a healthy and very productive read, complete with the most mature and incisive looks at every cranny – and some surprising ones! – of our everyday lives. The list of contributors is impressive but their advice is even more so. The fact that it is given so freely testifies to a pretty remarkable community-oriented and rather selfless success. This is a highly recommendable blog.

With these kinds of endorsements, professionals are even willing to write for us. One such writer is Alex Davidson and it’s wonderful to welcome him to the team.

Alex is a freelance writer living in New York City. He most recently worked for Forbes magazine, where he covered finance, education and the environment. Before that, he worked for Dow Jones Newswires and regularly wrote for both the ticker and The Wall Street Journal. He also blogs for the progressive Web site change.org.

He starts tomorrow with a short series on why gays and lesbians need to document everything when it comes to their finances, relationships and well-deserved assets. Just the kind of money coverage that makes us that ‘œhard-hitting and very relevant site.’

In the meantime, we’re only as good as our community, so if you have something to say about personal finance and want to contribute, by all means, be in touch. Send an e-mail to: nina [at] queercents [dot] com and tell me why. Of course, Alex raises the bar a bit, but don’t let the Forbes and Dow Jones part scare you off. After all, our diversity has made us the ‘œrather selfless success’ that we are today!
