If it's not too much trouble, would you mind sending this out to your list (you don't have to exclude my name from the mailing, if that makes life any easier for you). Thanks! d=P Rick BEGIN: ________ LGB TEEN MAGAZINE PUBLISHES DATING & RELATIONSHIPS ISSUE The national magazine for lesbian, gay and bisexual teens prints Episode 10 INSIDEOUT MAGAZINE PO BOX 460268 SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94146-0268 **Email= InsideOUT2@aol.com For Immediate Release insideOUT Magazine Wednesday, May 15, 1996 **Contact: Don Romesburg 415/643-0800 NATIONAL-On May 15 insideOUT, the magazine for lesbian, gay and bisexual youth, will be on newsstands around the country. Episode 10 - the dating and relationships issue - has everything from struggling to find dates in rural towns to negotiating sex in the age of AIDS. In addition, it contains two in-depth interviews and the magazine's first fashion spread, which explores the question: After you break up with someone, do you get to keep the cool clothes you've "borrowed?" One provacative interview features Kelli Peterson, the 17-year-old lesbian who turned Utah upside-down when she started a gay/straight alliance at her Salt Lake City high school. "Conservatives here basically went crazy," she remarks. "I've really just raised a lot of hell about gay rights and I'm hoping that this will be the movement for gay people that the civil rights movement was for others." In an interview with Go Fish's Guin Turner, Editor Arwyn Moore discovers Guin's plans for the future, her feelings about other lesbian films and the hard-hitting truth about the controversial Go Fish video box cover. If a 19-year-old and a 14-year-old are having a sexual relationship, should the state be able to put the older person in jail? It's just what happened to one of our readers in Oregon, and he tells his story in our popular readers' column "My So-Called World." Then there's the usual features like the Date-O-Meter - where readers can find out just how dateable they are; news and entertainment reviews important to lesbian, gay and bisexual youth; and a state-by-state resource guide. In addition insideOUT profiles three out youth in America: An HIV+(positive) lesbian club mama from New York; a female-to-male transgender activist from Boulder, Colo.; and a Latina cyber-activist from New Hampshire. "This is definitely our best issue yet," says founder and Publisher Rick Aguirre. Adds Chief Editor Arwyn Moore, "Of course we say that after each issue, which means we'll just get better and better." The issue is 46 glossy pages, has a $4 cover price and can be found in bookstores across the country. Also available by subscription - $12/one year; $20/two years, by writing to PO Box 460268, San Francisco CA 94146-0268. Review copies are available upon request. Editor Arwyn Moore and Publisher Rick Aguirre are available for interview. insideOUT was established in 1991 and is the longest-running publication for lesbian, gay and bisexual youth in the country. -END- =============== NATIONAL GAY TEEN MAGAZINE SEEKS MANAGING EDITOR 13 May 1996 Editorial Division Position: MANAGING EDITOR DESCRIPTION: Working with Chief Editor in small San Francisco office, Managing Editor communicates with writers, photographers, and designer to make sure contributors get their stuff in under deadline and the magazine goes to press on time; other duties include organizing and assigning stories, editing for content, style and clarity, and recruiting contributors.
