HISTORY The newspaper began publishing in April 2004 as Utah State Constitutional Amendment 3 was beginning to heat up and Aaron felt it was important to give the gay and lesbian community of Utah up-to-date news and commentary, something that had been previously lacking. At that time, their had been a monthly publication called The Pillar . Aaron joined with Steven Peterson, owner of ''Little Lavender Book'', a gay and lesbian directory for the state of Utah. Aaron had previously published ''Triangle Magazine'' and ''Gay Community News'' in the 1980s . News is published also on the newspaper's website and is archived and searchable. In February 2006, Michael Aaron attempted to purchase Salt Lake Metro from Metro Publishing, Inc. After the attempt was unsuccessful, Michael Aaron started a competing newspaper called '' QSaltLake '', taking all writers and production staff with him. EDITORS
