- Paris: Editions GNG, 1985-1988
A short-lived monthly covering gay-male news, culture and entertainment published in Paris from July 1986 through at least September 1988. The contents reflect the ferment of gay life in France during this period, with militant organizing facing challenges from a rapidly expanding gay consumer sector and with the toll of the AIDS epidemic creating growing concern.
