Includes a dossier on AIDS activist film and video, marking the twenty-fifth year of the AIDS pandemic.

The first issue includes a special dossier on AIDS activist film and video, marking the twenty-fifth year of the AIDS pandemic, and essays on late-nineteenth-century male nudes, lesbian surrealism, homoerotic photography in the deep South, and the transnational, transgender contexts of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play "I Am My Own Wife".Essays in the second issue focus on a series of queer case studies, including gay power graphics and psychedelia, female duets on the Broadway stage, Keith Haring and racial politics, "British Vogue" in the 1920s, and lesbian-feminist magazines of the 1970s. The issue concludes with a dossier of three shorter pieces on queer art and performance: an interview with the Chicano drag street performer Robert Legoretta ("Cyclona"), an essay on blogs and the "Five Lesbian Brothers", and a discussion of a rarely exhibited work about cruising and public space by the contemporary artist Glenn Ligon.
