It’s been just over eight years since San Diego Pix (SDPIX) was launched by publisher Johnathan Hale (Hale Media Inc). Never in our wildest dreams did we imagine that SDPIX would become what it is today. Back in 2002, Hale’s vision was simple: to create a website where people could view photos taken of them while they were out and about, and order prints of those photos, with the knowledge that 100% of the proceeds would be donated to charity.

Today, SDPIX has grown into San Diego’s most prominent resource for nightlife and entertainment and yes, we still donate all the proceeds from print sales and digital downloads to charities.

While Hale is proud of the work he and his team have done with SDPIX, he felt the time had come to take what he’s learned over these past years and put it into something that will not only entertain the community - but inform, educate and bring together yesterday’s leaders, today’s leaders and the leaders of tomorrow.

A New Attitude

Most importantly, we seek to change the tone and tenor of the dialogue on issues important to the GLBT community. Our community has much to be proud of and we will accomplish so much - if we remain committed to positive change within our own community and beyond.
As a proud member of the San Diego GLBT community, it is our hope that SDGLN will help build a bridge between the segments that may divide our community, creating a platform on which all of us can come together and stand as one in our quest for equality.
