18 Dead LGBT Magazines Worth Remembering

[left-of-center2012]

Throughout the years, many publications forced us to question our sense of normal and what a magazine could look like when LGBT people were front and center.

In the fight for eyes, few have survived. But we’ve compiled a list of now-passed (gay) magazines that gave a voice to the entire LGBT community when it seemed like we had none.

1. Common Lives Lesbian Lives 1981-1996

From their wiki
Common Lives/Lesbian Lives (CL/LL) was a collectively produced lesbian quarterly which published out of Iowa City, Iowa, from 1981-1996. The magazine had a stated commitment to reflect the diversity of lesbians by actively soliciting and printing in each issue the work and ideas of lesbians of color, Jewish lesbians, fat lesbians, lesbians over fifty and under twenty years old, disabled lesbians, poor and working-class lesbians, and lesbians of varying cultural backgrounds. Common Lives/Lesbian Lives was a cultural milestone in the lesbian publishing world, as it was one of the first lesbian journal or magazine published from outside of the urban/coastal New York/Los Angeles/Berkley scene.


I loved that magazine.
