Kay Longcope, journalist and publisher of the Texas Triangle, passed away last week. Forgive us for not reporting this sooner.
Most of the notices we've read online honoring Kay's life seem to have come through this Statesman article by Miguel Liscano.
Kay Longcope
Nov. 19, 1937-March 29, 2007
Newspaper publisher gave voice to gay community
and M.J.L. Kellogg posted this tribute in Metroblogging Austin.
Kay's dedication to journalism and her love for the Texas gay and lesbian community fueled the Triangle, a rock-steady forum for some hard-won progress. The Triangle's coverage galvanized and validated movements, especially during those heady early Nineties. Kay's work touched many.
She is survived by partner (business and life) of 17 years, Barbara Wohlgemuth.
