I've just spent some time reading articles. There's a real mixture of stuff that should have broad appeal. I've just finished reading an author interview with Chris Bryant, a Labour MP who has written a book about gay MPs at the commencement of WW2. Something which I knew nothing about.

Nice site design too. Has a retro feel.

I am an old straight woman but I would buy it, because it looks really good and to support them.

Is it an actual magazine or just a website?

Just a website as far as I know.

I've been trying to sign up for a subscription but the confirm and pay button wasn't working. I tried using a different browser but had the same problem. Perhaps they are working on the site? Has anyone else managed to subscribe? I'll have another go tomorrow. So delighted to finally have a Lesbian and gay news source that is for normal people.

Oh. I quite like an actual magazine. Handy to leave around the house.

I enjoyed the pieces by bev Jackson, James Dreyfus and about dating online as a lesbian.

I haven't read the others yet.

The bev Jackson piece. She has been fighting for gay/ lesbian rights for 50 years. 50 years!

How is a woman like her a homophobe, bigot etc which I'm sure she would be called.

James Dreyfuss a gay man. Work a great career in TV playing gay men. Although it was a bit weird in thin blue line when he was trying to get off with the (in those days?) Wpc...

Anyway.

I don't understand at all how. Loads of the women on this board are old school lefty feminists. How the people who say those who are ??? about redefining our sex class- half the world population- who have been and continued to be exploited, oppressed etc the world over. Are nothing more than a feeling a man has. And that women disagree we are, essentially. Evil.

And loads of women agree with that :/

Anyway good luck to the new publication.

Thanks so much for this. Have read a few articles already. The interview with Sheila Jeffreys is great; I'm going to order her autobiography.

Nice website. Loads to see at a glance about our upside down world
Bev Jackson is so reasonable and lovely - how could anyone abuse her or any of the people on there?

Wow some great articles.

I love that the GLA got started because Bev Jackson “had already bought her train ticket”. I can hear that in an Alan Bennett Talking Heads episode.

Oh my. It looks fantastic. I've only read James Dreyfus' article so far but there's so much on there!
With this and my Radical Notion magazine arriving, I've got a tremendously satisfying stack of new GC reading material on hand this weekend.

Oh I so wanted to support this site I thought it looked great.

Why why why why are they centring trans issues by featuring an interview with dysphoric young boys from the (very straight) Posie Parker? How is this gay and lesbian news?

So disappointed 😞
