They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. With this in mind, we at Gay-MART would like to mention that we are the first and original Gay-MART on the 'Web! Don't be confused by sites calling themselves gaymartXXX or XXX/~gaymart. These sites are in no way associated with us. If it doesn't say www.gaymart.com, it isn't Gay-MART! We are the original and still the best Gay-MART Internet Shopping Catalog, proudly serving you online for nearly 4 years!

Every year, on October 11, the USA celebrates National Coming Out Day. National Coming Out Day commemorates the 1987 March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. This day was designated as a culmination of the National Coming Out Project's year round activities. 1999 is the eleventh anniversary of NCD, and we'll all see a public education campaign on radio and television, and in magazines, to raise awareness and increase visibility about equal rights for lesbian, gay and bisexual people.

Despite the cooler temperatures, and the demise of the much loved summer season, October is also a favorite month for LesbiGay people, because it brings upon us that greatest of gay celebrations, Halloween!! Halloween is an event that seems to have been created for us, the chance to dress up in our favorite costumes and create illusions as only we can do. It's also a perfect excuse to meet with our friends and party, party, party! Where are you spending Halloween this year? Do you have an original or unique costume for this day of days? This is the last Halloween of the millennium, after all, and it's sure to be special. Let us know if you have a truly original costume or event planned, and we'll publish the best ideas in an upcoming newsletter. Maybe we should nominate October as Gay and Lesbian month...
