GLAAD-Nominated Blog Autostraddle Discovers the Community of Zines at BZF 2013

Erich and Ray of FAQNP

Ali from the GLAAD-nominated blog Autostraddle visited the Brooklyn Zine Fest 2013 and discovered the community-building power of self-published magazines.  Read her essay “I Went To Brooklyn Zine Fest, Had Feelings, Found Three More Zines You Should Read” for detailed profiles of three queer zines and their makers from this year’s BZF, as well as the story of Ali’s long-in-the-making appreciation of the medium:

“I think the way I felt here pretty much summarizes what Brooklyn Zine Fest is all about: the feeling that I have found my people.”
