"Provides a forum for discussion & analysis of contemporary gay, lesbian & bisexual ideas & literature."
"The highly acclaimed Journal of Homosexuality is devoted to scholarly research on homosexuality, including sexual practices and gender roles and their cultural, historical, interpersonal, and modern social contexts. In addition to research on human sexuality, articles in the journal also explore the political, social, and moral implications of research on human sexuality. Unique perspectives from the disciplines of law, history, and the humanities broaden the scope of this journal, which enjoys a favorable Journal Citation Reports (ISI) Impact Factor, even more."

"...The Journal of the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association is the first peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal devoted entirely to the healthcare needs of the lesbian and gay male, bisexual, and transgendered populations. The journal serves as a scientific forum for the presentation of data on the health needs of these populations and issues germane to them. Journal of the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association publishes a wide variety of clinical research, review articles, and nonfiction essays and reflects the varied healthcare needs of the `population under study'."

"First published in 1991, Law & Sexuality is the the first and only student-edited law review in the country devoted solely to covering legal issues of interest to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community on a wide variety of subjects, including constitutional, employment, family, health, insurance, and military law. The Journal addresses all of these issues and more with theoretical and practical articles by academicians, practitioners, and students."
"Magazine for the lesbian community including news of note, feature articles, commentary, profiles, music, book and movie reviews. Focuses on relationships, lifestyle, social interaction and identity, health, prominant figures, and political issues."

"An international quarterly review of books by, for, and about lesbians."
