During the month of March The Empty Closet Newspaper will conduct on on-line community and reader survey to find out more about the Western New York LGBT Communities and the role that the Empty Closet can play in meeting information needs.  The longest continuously published LGBT Community Newspaper in the State (and possibly the nation) the Empty Closet has worked to remain current and relevant to a rapidly changing community.  In light of shifting media and community demographics it is time to again take the pulse of the community, so please help us by answering a few questions.
