Gay ‘zines on the rise in NYC

After seeing the site from my previous post, I remembered seeing an entry on Towleroad, about the rising number of gay ‘zines in NYC.  He references a story in New York Magazine, “New York-Based Gay Magazines Are Thriving”.

“The seventies saw the first rise in ’zine culture, and then again in the mid-eighties, when the plain-paper copier made life easier. But the last few years have definitely been a new phenomenon.” Bronson credits Butt magazine, founded in Amsterdam and now edited in New York, with influencing a new generation of titles that are at once arty and dirty

Above is a shot of Pinups, a photo zine featuring one or two men per issue, and the pages can be removed to form a large poster.

Here’s a list of some NYC ‘zines and their URLs, courtesy of Towleroad.com after the jump…
