South Florida Blade

The South Florida Blade, formerly The Express Gay News, was a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) newspaper in the southern Florida area. The Express was a member of the National Gay Newspaper Guild.

The Express was founded in 2000. In 2003, it was acquired by Window Media, the largest publisher of gay/lesbian weekly newspapers in the United States.

On August 28, 2008, Express Gay News underwent a drastic rebranding effort, changing format and name. The newer version of the paper, called The South Florida Blade, was edited by Dan Renzi.

According to Window Media, its circulation was approximately 20,000.

In 2009 Window Media shut down and shortly thereafter the paper was re-organized with most of the same staff by Mark Haines as The Florida Agenda. In 2010 the original publisher and founder of The Express Gay News, Norm Kent, launched a new newspaper and website South Florida Gay News,.

    In Florida consider the flamingo,
    Its color passion but its neck a question.

    But there lay Captain Carpenter on his back
    His weapons were the old heart in his bust
    And a blade shook between rotten teeth alack.
