"My Comrade," Summer 1993
Add to SetSummary
My Comrade was an underground "zine" launched in 1987 by drag queen Linda Simpson. The magazine was an irreverent platform for LGBTQ+ culture and politics in NYC's East Village, advertising itself as "the court jester of the queer press." My Comrade focused on drag queens, and the flip side of each issue also contained Sister!--a zine celebrating lesbian community.
