V-Rag

Maybe you’re wondering: where the eff can I get my gay news in a fresh and saucy–nay, convenient–format that I can carry with me at all times? The answer to that, of course, is right here on Xtra.ca and in print from Xtra West! OBVIOUSLY! But there are other sources and here’s a doozie:

Follow them. Love them. Marry editor Cole Johnston. And since I know you’ll love the blog, you can pick up the hard-copy at the following locales:

  • Davie at Little Sister’s
  • Fountainhead
  • Priape
  • Melriches
  • 1181
