Lesbo Magazine
Political, cultural and social magazine, the successor of fanzine Lesbozine (1987-1988) and bulletin Pandora (1993-1996). It has been published since 1997 as a non profitable, free publication. Lesbo magazine aims at sharpening the critical and intellectual blades and at damage-control. It promotes stories, politics and views, arts and attitudes, practices and theories about the resistance and radical fights against homophobia and any other exclusive orientations. It breaks identity consolidations wherever they limit the diversity as an existential right; therefore it opens the issues, which are usually closed down by the social consensus: non-monogamy; underground; trans-gender and trans-sexuality; gender technology; pornography as activism; political manifestations; the catholic church and lesbianism; lesbian motherhood; lesbian trade unions; gay and lesbian studies; lesbian motifs in art; lesbians in cyber space; closet and scenes.

As such it participates in wider civil, political, social and cultural efforts aiming at breaking the massive walls of civil apathy, political ignorance, ideological terror and mind exploitation.
