How the Rating is Determined
  • Profile
Towleroad.com, a leading online news outlet, was founded in 2003 by Andy Towle. Towle, a former Editor-in-Chief of Genre magazine, started the website with the aim of providing news and information to the gay community. Today, he still owns and operates Towleroad.com. Based in the United States, Towleroad.com primarily covers news related to the LGBTQ+ community, including topics in Politics, Entertainment, Culture, and Travel. While their focus leans on the United States, they also cover significant global events and issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community. **One interesting fact**: Towleroad.com deviates from traditional news reporting by embedding a strong focus on the LGBTQ+ perspective. One unique aspect of Towleroad.com is its dedicated section on "Gay Voices". This section features personal stories, viewpoints, and experiences from the LGBTQ+ community, providing a platform for these voices and fostering a sense of community among its readers.
Towleroad is ranked N/A among other media sources and has an average of 329,100 monthly visits according to Similar Web.
