Cul de sac is a magazine devoted to social analysis and critique from a queer perspective. Issues about or pertinent to an LGBT audience are our main focus with special attention paid to social justice and cultural literacy.
We cover a range of topics, including minority issues within the LGBT community, sexual health, technology and politics, gender roles, transgender rights, and queer representations in media as well as film, music and literary critiques which address a queer audience.
We are web-based with a goal to be both a print and on-line publication. Starting out small, our location is primarily Chicago-based, but we are open to pursuing stories regarding issues outside of Chicago. We are looking for writers who are open-minded and invested in social advocacy.
