The listings below are literary magazines/journals that specifically focus on the artists and writers in the LGBTQ+ community. There are many other literary magazines that support LGBTQ+ contributors. For a more general list of all-inclusive/feminist lit mags, check out my list here: Feminist Lit Mags and Journals.
These literary magazines/journals are listed alphabetically; some are currently accepting submissions, some are temporarily closed. I've also included whether or not it is a paying market in the notes column. These lit mags/journals also fit the following criteria:
- Generally do not charge fees to submit (although some may charge fees for some types of submissions and for contests).
- They accept poetry submissions.
- All accept electronic submissions.
If you have suggestions for lit mags/journals I've missed, please contact me here or leave a comment below.

Dear poet, greetings! copious -flow of magazines, amazing.
Whyi is it that ‘Feminist’ mags are mostly about the gay and the third gender magazines? All over the world women are still fighting for a space on this planet demanding justice and equality. They have many tales to tell
Feminism, to me, is being fair and just. Feminism is not an ideology that should be used to condemn any one way of thinking, but rather to communicate, educate, and broaden the perspectives of those who are treating others unjustly. Journals and literary magazines focused on feminism typically support marginalized communities of writers and artists. LGBTQ+ focused lit mags can typically be categorized as also feminist. Both are encouraging the voices from those less heard in mainstream literature.
