Serbia Gets Its First Gay Mag

 

A positive boost for the gay community of Serbia has been the launch of the country’s first gay magazine.   The Gay Lesbian Info Centre in Belgrade has officially launched ‘Optimism’  a full colour magazine with 64 pages.

The mag is going to be distributed free at gay bars, clubs, cultural and drop-in centres.  It’s also going to be left at other, gay-friendly venues in Belgrade, making it even more widely available. 
In the first issue there are features on legislative and legal situation of LGBT Serbians, which favours single persons as gay couples and transgender people seem  not to be recognized under law, according to the editors.


GLIC needs funding to help keep the the magazine in print  - www.gayecho.com.
