Description
The first issue of the thirteenth volume of The Watermark was published on January 12,2006, and was the newspaper's health and fitness issue. The issue features stories relevant to GLBT physical and mental health, covering stories on cigarette smoking in the GLBT community, the mental health effects of HIV/AIDS, and healthy GLBT relationships. The cover story highlights Sterling Powell, who was a print, radio and TV personality in the Tampa Bay area that changed his lifestyle to focus on his health and changes to his diet. The issue also features stories about Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, which was an all male ballet troupe, and the sentencing of Steven Lorenzo, who conspired with Scott Schweickert to drug and murder nine gay men.
Since 1994, The Watermark has been the cornerstone source of LGBTQ+ centered news for the Central Florida region. Founded by Tom Dyer in Orlando, the publication began generating bi-weekly issues beginning August 31, 1994. Since then, The Watermark has consistently published newspaper-style issues every other Thursday. Gaining traction, the publication expanded in 1995 to include Tampa and, in 1997, The Watermark became a permanent piece of LGBTQ+ culture when the publication initiated the first large-scale Gay Days Weekend event, the Beach Ball at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon. Before 1999, the publication printed 20,000 copies every week, distributing them to over 500 locations between its two major cities. Following 1999, the publication launched watermarkonline.com shifting to an online publication style. In 2016, Rick Claggett purchased The Watermark.
