Those shopping for a date can go to
www.Gay11.com, a new venture from
MatchNet, one of the largest global online
dating services provider. The new service
was launched on October 11 to coincide with
National Coming Out Day.
Gay11 is the latest addition to
MatchNet’s other services that include
AmericanSingles.com, which has over 3
million members and the Internet’s dominant
Jewish dating service, Jdate.com.
“The gay and lesbian population has
always embraced the Internet as a tool to
build community,” said Joe Shapira, CEO
of MatchNet. “Until now, there has been a
lack of acceptable sites at which upscale,
professional gay and lesbian singles can
meet.” Shapira hopes that Gay11.com will
be the service that caters to that need.
Anyone can browse or post a profile at
no cost. Other features such as live chat and
unlimited e-mail contact is available to
premium members at an additional cost.
These are just a few of the many
websites that are available on the Internet that
cater to the gay consumer. If you have a
suggestion of one that should be featured in
a future issue of The Express, send an email to News@ExpressGayNews.com.

products at www.BlueDoorCollection.com.
