Out/Look
Out/Look, the National Lesbian & Gay Quarterly, was published in San Fransisco from the spring of 1988 through the summer of 1992 and contained 17 issues. The publication was founded by Jeffrey Escoffier and co-edited by E.G. Crichton, and it addressed issues including but not limited to: the AIDS outbreak, queer fashion, activism, and books/artwork. The journal inspired the OutWrite conferences that hosted numerous influential key speakers such as Allen Ginsberg.
