ScotsGay Magazine
ABOUT SCOTSGAY
ScotsGay was set up in December 1994 as a bi-monthly magazine for the
lesbian, gay and bisexual community in Scotland. We felt that there was
a need for a general-purpose magazine, neither weighted too much towards
the scene nor to the arts field. We believe that the success of the
magazine reflects the diversity of lesbian, gay and bisexual experiences
in Scotland.
From the very first issue of the magazine, we've been available on the Net via e-mail using a listserver. A number of our contributions are supplied via the Net, and we have released access to our very popular contact ads, The Meet Market, to anyone with an e-mail address. Now, thanks to The Direct Connection, we have taken the next logical step and published the magazine on the Web.
ScotsGay originally came every two months (towards the end of the 'even'
months) but from Issue 5 we released the magazine's scene guide,
InsideOut, as a separate entity in the months that ScotsGay did not
appear. The intermediate issues of
InsideOut were numbered after the previous edition of ScotsGay with an
'a' suffix. From November 1999, Issue 30a, we replaced the intermediate InsideOut with ScotsGay 60/- Light. The following month saw Issue 31 of ScotsGay 80/- Heavy. And so it continues with the 60/- issues being somewhat smaller than the 80/- versions. It all makes sense to us!
