I want to find a good glbtq mag that's animal rights/environment friendly but have had no luck so far.

[Emodulor]

my 2 current favorites are:
Magnet
Look Look :p

[MissKitty]

The Big TakeOver
Dwell
Metropolis
Zoetrope
Word (Brit)
Budget Living
Living Etc (Brit)

[vanler]

Adbusters

[daftad]

The Economist

[DogStarMan]

Maximum PC
Men's Journal

[classicgrrl]

Utne Reader
Consumer Reports

I also subscribe to Cincinnati Magazine but I don't think I'll renew because I apparantly am not part of their demographic.
:mad:

[bjk15]

wow, i need to broaden my mag reading

espn the magazine (i don't have cable tv)
and various consumer/business mags like consumer reports and the wall street journal

[redbobsled]

When I get some cash again and a job, I will be able to subscribe to everything I want.

This is what we get now:

Entertainment Weekly
Martha Stewart Living
Martha Stewart Everyday Food
(I'm a Martha Stewart junkie, sorry.)
Rue Morgue
Consumer Reports

We used to get the New Yorker, but it comes every week and we could never read enough to make it worthwhile.

If money were not an issue, I would add:

Bitch
Bust (if it doesn't still suck)
Utne Reader
Atlantic Monthly
something music-y, like CMJ, if they ever shape up

[sirgareth]

Get the:
New Yorker
Ready Made
Esquire

Esquire, btw, is the best deal on earth, clocking in at $9 for an annual subscription. Some of the best writers going for under 10 bills. ANNUALLY.

Read Food & Wine/Gourmet on occasion, as well as the Nation when I'm feeling saucey.

And, though the issues are sporadic, gotta love Found Magazine. The booty don't stop!

I like your style, Miss Kitty. I also like Metropolitan Home. Since I'm a home remodeling fool, I subscribe to Fine Homebuilding. I know, really damn boring!!!

[kcneon]

GLBTQ--this acronym is making my head hurt.

gay, lesbian, bi, turtle, queen??????

[Slar]

Reason.

How do you some people have the time and money to suscribe to that many magazines? 23 subscriptions for Marlowe?!?

gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer. you were close! :D

[postfeminist]

yosh,

I know. Fuckin assimilationists.:(

So many of my friends are queer vegans... you'd think that there'd be a magazine out there somewhere. A huge portion of the animal rights movement are queer.

Oh well.

[Louisianagrl]

Q
NME
Alternative Press
Cosmopolitan (both the US and UK editions)
Glamour
Entertainment Weekly (as floated to me free from my Dad)

[classicgrrl]

I read three mags:

->consumer reports. no advertising.
->Cincinnati Magazine. but I am stopping when my subscription runs out. not great writing, too many ads, and definitely not targeted toward my demograhic!
->Utne Reader. probably the best writing of any mag anywhere. just really brilliant stuff. despite the slant of the mag they feature some fantastic music as well. great pub.

[mobyoctopad]

Two very good magazines that I'm not sure have been mentioned yet are Arthur (http://www.arthurmag.com/news/) and BB Gun (http://www.bbgunmag.org). Both have excellent websites as well. You can get Arthur free, depending where you live. The current issue of Arthur has this coverstory: The 1967 Exorcism of the Pentagon and the Birth of the Yippie! It also features musings by David Cross, Le Trigre, Black Keys, and Thurston Moore.

[RadioPirate]

I'm surprised not more people are aware of the greatest magazine in the nation, Modern Drunkard Magazine! You can check it out online at http://www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com

Props to National Geographic, as well, which is my longest running subscription, cause I'm a map junkie.

[TheShed]

My favorites are Bitch and Magnet. OH and consumer reports, I'm addicted to that. I occasionally buy other music magazines, depending on who is featured in the issue. I like DIW usually, but don't put much stock into the reviews. It's kinda like judging music based on a pitchfork review.

[Dawg]

Bassplayer Magazine...

Only one...

[mobyoctopad]

HERBIVORE MAGAZINE (http://www.herbivoreclothing.com/magazine.page.html)

SHIFT (RIP :()

[ideoplastic]

My favorite magazine was Blue Jean, an advertisement-free "empowering" alternative to teen girl magazines. I had a subscription in elementary school before it went defunct.

I don't really have a preference now. I read the Time and US News and World Report my parents have but don't have any subscriptions of my own after not renewing Utne. The stack of publications on my desk is limited to Dissent, Daedalus, Night Sky, "Uncut Presents NME Originals: Goth," and Skyscraper.

Q could also mean Questioning. That's the way we always treated it in my high school's Gay/Straight Alliance, before students had the chance to get radical about orientation.

As far as acronyms go, that's a relatively simple one. Two-spirited, straight supportive, asexual, queer or questioning aren't even included. It could have ended up looking something like GLBTQQSSA2 or worse.

[groovcat]

No one else reads Vice????

I LOVE VICE.
it speaks to me.

That and Adbusters.

[ideoplastic]

I read Adbusters sometimes. Never really read Vice, though.

[Trevour]

DRAW! Magazine and Q are my two.

[sistersavior]

Im not big on magazines, but 2 years ago i picked up the 'end of the year' Spin and i really liked it. In fact, it still sits next to my toliet. 2 years later, i now listen to a few bands who were on top whatever lists (yeah yeah yeahs, the rapture, interpol for example). And theres a lot of different artists given credit (eminem, white stripes, interpol, foo fighters, whatever i cant remember).

[wombat18]

For Rock en Espanol :

Batanga
La Banda Elastica

[CablinasianRam]

My favorite periodical is The Village Voice, hands down. However, I do enjoy reading Mother Jones and The Progressive. When I'm in the Nati' I satiate my news requirement with CityBeat.
