About This Item
[LGBTQ] Christopher Street Archive of 7 Magazines. New York: That New Magazine, Inc., 1976-80. This archive includes: Sept. 1976 (Vol. 1, No. 3), Dec. 1976 (Vol. 1, No. 6), May 1977 (Vol. 1, No. 11), Aug. 1977 (Vol. 2, No. 2), Aug. 1979 (Vol. 4, No. 1), Oct/Nov. 1979 (Vol. 4, No. 3), and Sept. 1980 (Vol. 4, No. 12). Each magazine measures 8.5" x 11", and are decorated with vibrant pictorial wrappers. Christopher Street Magazine was founded in New York City in 1976 by Charles Ortleb, as he strove to create a monthly literary magazine for the gay community featuring fiction, nonfiction, poetry, news, book reviews and photography. Known both for its serious discussion of issues within the gay community and its satire of anti-gay criticism, it was one of the two most widely read gay-issues publications in the United States. Christopher Street covered politics and culture and its aim was to become a gay equivalent of The New Yorker. In the December 1976 issue, writer Barry Laine notes that "Gay poetry---or the premise of it---is often criticized as being too parochial, limited, and specialized. Yet the gay person, having lived a life filled with heterosexual images, knows best how to universalize and to find the qualities shared by all humanity" (37). A playful, yet important publication for the Gay community, this archive is vibrant and in very good condition.
