KUTTINEDGEONLINE.COM log on TODAY!

Stephen Andrieux, a New York-based entrepreneur recently launched his long awaited webzine, kuttinedgeonline.com. After three years of development, Kuttinedgeonline.com has been met with great reviews and membership to the developing site and is growing everyday. The site recently celebrated its 500th member. A great accomplishment for an idea that has been met with cynicism that all the black gay community is about is Sex, Flamboyancy and HIV.

When we asked Steve why he took on such a project he explained to us that this site was developed because of the many conversations he had with friends and acquaintances complaining about their website experiences. Although, met with some adversity that the site would be successful, he decided that it was worth the effort to support the community by providing positive representation of what it is to be black and gay in a world that still has a hard time accepting the people let alone what is considered to be a lifestyle.

“All I ever see is porn.”, “I want something that I can relate to.”, “ I want to see images of real men and women doing positive things.” Where are our leaders?”

Over and over he heard the same comments and he put people to the challenge. “Well, why do you do something about it he would say” and that is where it got silent.

Those conversations and experiences is what prompted him to pull together Kuttinedge. A website that helps empower, inform, educate, build pride, develop stronger bonds and relationships, and uplift the African American Gay community.

The site features many sections including News and Editorials, Profiles on people making a difference in the community, Health and Fitness section, Advice and Articles that will chronicle positive and negative aspects of relationships, Entertainment, Nightlife, Networking and an amazing Online Shopping Experience. Steve is calling this site the people’s site and giving them a voice. An opportunity for them to share a part of themselves and to let the world know that there is strength in our numbers and that we can indeed support each other.

The site led by Stephen Andrieux and Mathew Raoul, is well on its journey of becoming the place to go to for information and resources. Kuttinedgeonline.com will also feature a new online philanthropy PROJECT EDGE geared towards raising funds to aid in supporting the gay – African American community at large. PROJECT EDGE will try to dispel the myth that the “ THE BLACKS DON”T GIVE” THEY DON”T SUPPORT THEIR OWN COMMUNITY!” Project Edge will award grants to organization and individual looking to make a difference, award scholarships, raise funds to aid in the fight against aids, and donate funds to organizations that help support the gay African- American population. One dollar of each Monthly paid membership ($9.95) will be donated to Project Edge to help build the bench towards supporting the community.

If your are interested in becoming a part of the experience Kuttinedge is currently looking for contributors who have a unique and Kuttinedge perspective on being BGLT.
