About Us
Gay Parent magazine is the oldest, free, nationally distributed publication dedicated to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender parenting (LGBT).
In September 1998, Gay Parent magazine (GPM) was first launched online at www.gayparentmag.com. Within two hours email from enthusiastic readers began pouring in. Gay Parent magazine print followed two months later, November 1998. GPM print is published bi-monthly and distributed across the U.S.A. mainly through gay community centers and bookstores. Gay Parent magazine's focus is to support and empower LGBT parents and to support LGBTs wishing to become first time parents.
A sister publication, Ripe magazine, for midlife to older LGBTs was launched May 2000. Although Ripe received much praise and publicity, it ceased publication at the end of 2001.
Since 1998, Gay Parent and Ripe magazines have been recognized by the LGBT community as well as by the mainstream through media coverage such as Philadelphia Gay News, LesbiaNation.com, New York's Newsday, and the Honolulu Advertiser. Publisher, Angeline Acain was nominated Grand Marshall for the 8th Queens County Annual Pride Parade in June 2000 and marched in the parade with her partner Susan and their daughter.
In 2003, the first issue of New York Gay Parent Guide was published. Different from nationally distributed Gay Parent magazine, the guide is distributed only in New York state and focuses on LGBT parents living in New York and the tri-state area. In 2006 the guide's name was changed to Gay Parent magazine-New York.
Another sister publication, Queens Karma, made its debut June 15, 2009. Different from the LGBT themed Gay Parent, Queens Karma is a holistic magazine that is distributed exclusively in Queens, New York. For more information visit www.queenskarma.com.
