Nuremberg gay mail
The Nürnberger Schwulenpost ( NSP ) was a monthly magazine for gays and lesbians in Northern Bavaria, which was first published in July 1985. The NSP was one of the first gay magazines. The printed edition was discontinued around 2010 due to declining advertising income and the absence of voluntary workers. The website still existed. But the last entry is from 2013.
The NSP emerged as the successor to Rosa Flieder as part of the political gay movement. The main topics have always been the abolition of §175 StGb , discrimination against gays and lesbians , homosexuality and church , the situation of gays and lesbians in the Nazi era and the early FRG, and more recently the " registered civil partnership " and the planned anti-discrimination law . Today (2006) the NSP is the only non-commercial scene magazine of this size that is still produced on a purely voluntary basis. The main area of distribution is Northern Bavaria, display is also nationwide in gay and lesbian centers. The publisher is the gay and lesbian culture and media association in cooperation with the gay and lesbian association Fliederlich eV
The edition is 5,200 copies. The NSP will be sold for a nominal fee of 50 cents at stations. In the Nuremberg area, the NSP can be taken free of charge from trendy cafés or picked up free of charge at Fliederlich eV.
The newspaper contains a scene guide, legal tips, news, texts on sexual education and prevention in cooperation with the AIDS-Hilfe Nürnberg / Erlangen / Fürth and personals.
The editions from 1985 - the first few years only partially - can be found on the Internet. All articles are available from September 1996 and offer a historical overview of topics and developments in the gay movement.
