Fagmedia.com: Noticias Independientes y Opiniones para la Communidad Queer (TM) (Independent News and Opinion for the Queer Community) was established by CADT Photography as an Independent Queer Media Organisation in 2001.

The Fagmedia Think Tank is an opportunity for like minded gay people and gay sympathetic people to express their views and interests in a public forum while preserving and promoting the desirable historical, social and cultural features of the GLBTIQ community.

Community Interest and Promotion of Clubs and Social Groups: Fagmedia seeks to support and co-operate with other organizations who adhere to aims, objectives and processes that are compatible with principles of good governance and actively seek to implement organisational structures based on participatory democracy and equal opportunity and who share our concern with the physical and social environment of all in the GLBTIQ community.

Brand Name Reviews:  One of our aims is to review those activities and policies of public, statutory and private organisations which affect the GLBTIQ community and to ensure that brand name organisations which raise funds from the GLBTIQ Community and seek to represent the GLBTIQ Community comply with principles of good governance and actively seek to implement organisational structures based on participatory democracy and equal opportunity.

Religion Sex & Politics: Fagmedia's key point of difference is that we do indeed include content relating to matters that some think "we the people" should not talk about and leave to others more "qualified" to speak such as school chaplains. Fagmedia does undertake to represent GLBTIQ views and interests before public, statutory and private organisations. For example, we provided written submissions to the Australian Senate's investigation on Same Sex Marriage and Headspace's enquiry into GLBTIQ Issues. It is our hope that these documents will make a difference and enable government's to develop more inclusive and socially just policies.

Health and Wellbeing. Fagmedia is committed to carrying out safer sex education and raise awareness about the needs of HIV+ people within the GLBTIQ Community and to this end the Fagmedia is proud to support the good work of the Sisters and Brothers of theOrder of Perpetual Indulgence who distribute safe sex packs on behalf of the WA AIDS Council and People Living with HIV/AIDS WA Inc. Fagmedia reports on matters relating to HIV to support positive people who are prevented from speaking in public for fear of stigma and discrimination.
