Queer Recommendations

DapperButch · 03-23-2014, 01:57 PM

This made me think of something. Does anyone remember those travel brochures for each state listing gay/gay friendly establishments that were published in the 90's? You could pick them up for free at your local gay bar (you know, just like the gay newspapers!). They would be stacked upright with little tabs between the states.

I think there was also an updated book you could buy each year for all the states.

The brochures were often wrong though...gay bars come and go really fast (at least back then)!

I wonder if the books at least are still around.

Those were the days!

There used to be gay newspapers!? Thats is so cool! I was born in the wrong decade for sure. I know there are loads of websites, but I've always preferred to have something psysical to hold when I read.

Looks like you can still pick up a copy of the Washington Blade.

For some reason I can't post the link though. There page has a list of locations to pick it up. So, you know, just fly over!

Haha yeah, all I need to get a gay newspaper is a ticket to the states. Easy peasy

Yes, and there is a "find a copy" link.

Extra and extra west still run in canada.

The pink paper is in the UK.

I'm sure there are a few places in the bigger cities that have the readership for them. I find they have more events listed. Don't forget the dyke magazines like DIVA you can order.

If you have a copy of THIS BRIDGE CALLED MY BACK on your shelf, you'll be doing fine.

GO Magazine is a NYC-based publication and website that has lots of lesbo info.

I traveled around Europe for years with copies of Gaia's Guide. I wish I had the ones I made notes in. "Lesbian Connection"! still exists too. So analogue!
