AfterEllen.com, founded in April 2002, is a website that focuses on the portrayal of lesbian and bisexual women in the media.[1] AfterElton.com, its brother site for gay and bisexual men, was launched in January 2005.[2] AfterEllen.com was founded by Sarah Warn, and AfterElton by Warn and Michael Jensen. Warn initially served as the editor in chief of both. Michael Jensen has been the editor in chief of AfterElton.com since November 2005, and Karman Kregloe has been the editor in chief of AfterEllen.com since November 2009. Both websites were bought in 2006 by the cable television channel Logo.

AfterEllen.com
AfterEllen.com is not affiliated with Ellen DeGeneres, although its name refers to the milestone for lesbians when DeGeneres publicly came out.
The site considers television, film, music, books, and celebrity news. It publishes articles, regular columns, reviews, recaps of television shows with lesbian and bisexual characters, and maintains several blogs. More recently, weekly video blogs, often called "vlogs", have become a key part of AfterEllen.com, the more popular of which include "Brunch With Bridget", "Lesbian Love", and "Is This Awesome?" The site also features popular web series, such as the Streamy winning and Webby nominated "Anyone But Me."
It is the top website for LGBT women, reaching over 700,000 readers a month as of 2008.[3] In March 2008, it was named one of "the world's 50 most powerful blogs" by British newspaper The Observer for its "irreverent look at how the lesbian community is represented in the media."[4]
