PlanetOut received a $3 million
investment from Sequoia Capital and
America Online to staff and market the site geared
toward the interests of
the gay and lesbian community. PlanetOut has purchased Queer Infoservers, a gay
Internet directory, and has licensed the electronic rights to "The Ultimate Guide
to Lesbian & Gay Film and Video."
A partnership between PlanetOut and Yahoo
will deliver daily news in Yahoo's
Gay and Lesbian category.
