If it were me, I'd work for a more mainstream company that pays me, and try to infuse my work with a gay sensibility.
I'm a member of the gay journalists association which includes print, TV, radio, etc. At the annual cocktail party last month there were several hundred people, most working for companies you've heard of. CBS, NBC, the Times, the Post, tons of mainstream companies... even Fox. I'd say that at least in NYC we're everywhere. ^
