I think a lot of the development of the gay side of the industry is because there are to many cliques.

Company owners / webmasters view each other as competition instead of potential clients to often than not and that cuts down a lot of the barriers.

I also agree with what Basschick said, many of the webmasters and companies in the gay market place simply dont understand the importance of utilizing the tools they are readily provided, whether they be forums, resources, conventions or anything else that draws adult webmasters en mass.
