Dirty Queer Magazine, Den Magazine, DUDE Trans Male Zine and Slit Magazine are teaming up at Fair Day 2012. Your one-stop-shop for all things queer and independent this coming Mardi Gras.

Fair Day is on Sunday 12 February 2012 in Victoria Park, Broadway, Sydney. Here’s the event on Facebook.

We’re launching issue 4 on Friday 10 February at the Red Rattler in Marrickville – come along!

Here’s the event on Facebook.

We’ve completely updated our website in the last week or so, with major changes to the front page and blog pages, plus a new commenting system that integrates with Facebook.

Everything has been tested in all major browsers, including older versions of Internet Explorer, but please let us know if anything looks weird. Enjoy!

Here it is: the Dirty Queer Magazine issue #3 launch, “BLACKLIGHT DISCO”, Saturday, September 24th at the Red Rattler Theatre in Marrickville.

Save the date! We’re still hard at work with interviews and photo shoots – and we can see that the next issue is going to be big, and packed with amazing features.

Time Out Sydney have just published a great feature on Dirty Queer Magazine, by Andrew Georgiou.

“From transglam, femme-lez and butch poofs, through to high-camp, gritty kink and urban pussy, the creative pages of Dirty Queer magazine are sharing bent tales of the unexpected…”

[...]

“Liberating and subversive” with an “aesthetic that has swept away much of the pretentiousness and stylisation of earlier decades to look at real men as sexually charged.”

“This is both a liberating and a subversive approach. Liberating in its egalitarian approach to sexiness; subversive because it brings the male as object of sexual desire out of the hermetic aesthetics of myth and firmly into daily life.”

(Alasdair Foster, director of the Australian Centre for Photography on Dirty Queer Magazine).

Come and hear Dirty Queer Magazine talk tonight with William Yang and others about “The Male Nude in Photography”.
