Lesbian and Gay publications which are available only by purchase lose vision. They may be born of good intent and theory, but as cashflow increases, their lust for change turns into lust for profits. They become consumed in a wanton frenzy of narcissism, glamour, and greed. They quickly transform into the sort of institution they were against in the first place, thereby sabotaging the Revolution and ultimately doing more harm than good.

Magazines like The Advocate and Out/Look have but one mandate: to systematically render the entire international Lesbian and Gay population brain-dead. And sadly, their evil task has been remarkably successful, with but a few pockets of clone-immune individuals scattered across the planet. Only a handful of small "alternative" publications stand in the way of the complete labotomization of our culture. BIMBOX is one of those publications.

The question remains however, who? WHO PAYS FOR BIMBOX? The answer, my friend, is simple. The truth is, you have already paid for BIMBOX. We have all paid for it - dearly. We have paid for it in blood and we have paid for it in tears. Unrelenting pain is our credit limit, and we are cursed with interminable overdraft protection. We have wept and we have suffered and we have been scarred - scarred for life. We have been wounded, injured, and maimed, and we have died. We have all literally died of boredom. Oh yes, we have paid. The horrible, undeniable truth of the matter is: BIMBOX is paid for paid in full.
