Bad Attitude: A Lesbian Sex Magazine

A presentation by Amy Hoffman

29 Stanhope Street, Boston, MA, 02116

Amy Hoffman discusses Bad Attitude, the lesbian sex magazine she published with Cindy Patton between 1984-1986. Inspired by the sex-positive wing of the women’s movement and their work at Gay Community News, the magazine included erotic stories, pictures, and essays. Eventually, Amy and Cindy handed off the magazine to a lesbian s/m collective, who kept the it going with a somewhat different focus.
