Do people think we should list gay newspapers here too if they aren't dailies? According to Pink Triangle Press, Xtra! (and its sister publications) are newspapers, but according to magazine, a magazine is a "periodical publication containing a variety of articles on various subjects. Magazines are typically published weekly, twice-monthly or monthly, and often have some colour-printed content and coated paper. "Journal" is sometimes used in reference to a magazine." All the Xtra! publications are biweekly, though in newspaper format. I don't know about the Sydney Star Observer but it sounds like a newspaper too. Exploding Boy 12:17, Feb 16, 2004 (UTC)

Actually, I'm thinking that since there is not, to the best of my knowledge, a daily "gay" newspaper anywhere in the world perhaps gay papers are best put here... Exploding Boy
The Sydney Star Observer is a weekly. It's in newspaper format, but nearly all the queer mags in Australia are (if not all). That's probably due to financial issues - the market here is obviously much smaller than in the states. Additionally, they were nearly all bought out by the one company than went broke, so I don't know what is and isn't still alive anymore (for instance, BrotherSister, which I listed, is gone I believe).

Should we include pornographic gay magazines? Voyager640 06:16, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

I guess it would be ok? What do others think? Exploding Boy 09:12, May 31, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Problematic ISSN

I sent email to the publisher of the following journal almost 2 months ago, asking for a valid ISSN. Having not yet heard back, I am going to remove the ISSN since I have not been able to locate it anywhere. Kind Regards, Keesiewonder talk 01:04, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
