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.

I don’t think Muzzle is a LGBTQ+ specific magazine. I certainly think they’re supportive but I’ve never seen notice that they exclusively publish queer folx like say, Foglifter.
They were on another list I found so I added them. I'll review, thanks!
Hello,
Hope you are well and safe during these times.
We are not sure if this counts, but we have a special LGBTQ+ issue open for submissions. If this is something that can be listed, that will be great! Thank you!
