GMB (Gay Black Men); Is. 11 (October 1999)

GMB, short for Gay Black Men, was a “serious, sexual magazine for gay African-American men and their fans.” The lives (and bodies) of gay black men are exposed, explored and celebrated in the photographs, fiction, and features of these quarterly issues. Editor Graylin Thornton points out in the premier issue that the focus of GBM “is not only to appeal to the erotic mind of the reader but also to showcase the work of some of the most talented artists the African-American community has to offer.”
