Blogger BoifromTroy has an interesting post about West Hollywood Mayor John Duran's ownership in the gay publication Frontiers. Citing the Mayor's 2005 re-election bid, BoiFromTroy asks where is Frontier's integrity in the absence of full disclosure when sprinkling Duran's comments throughout their political stories.

But the "Integrity" value seems to have been violated from the get-go when the rag failed to disclose Duran's ownership status when they quote Duran extensively in this article on Governor Schwarzenegger's position on gay marriage. It is mentioned, however, in the news briefs story about the West Hollywood Council elections.

Hopefully "Diversity" will mean that Frontiers recognizes all gay voices--including those of Republicans--as their former reporter Karen Ocamb does on a regular basis.

Upon introducing the new owners, Frontiers defined what they mean by "integrity" and other values.

Integrity
All our actions will be honest, truthful, and fair. "Doing the right thing" means examining all of our decisions to create, as much as possible, winning situations for all concerned.

Diversity
We celebrate our decades of service to the LGBT community by celebrating freedoms for all people. Respecting and championing diversity is not just the right thing; it's the best for everyone.
