Welcome to the first issue of the queerPhilosophy magazine. This magazine is presently available online (PDF and HTML formats) only. It introduces queerPhilosophy and provides a number of articles discussing philosophical issues relevant to the LGBTQ community, encouraging discussion of such issues on this site and elsewhere.
We are very interested in creating a second issue of queerPhilosophy, to be available online and in print! We need new articles, illustrations, layout artists, funding to print/distribute, and YOUR IDEAS for the project. Contact us if you are interested in helping to make this happen!
We hope you enjoy the magazine, and look forward to hearing your feedback.
