The Advocate is one of the oldest and most established LGBTQ+ news and culture publications in the United States, founded in 1967. It has covered nearly six decades of LGBTQ+ history, from the Stonewall era through the AIDS crisis, marriage equality, and the current political landscape. The Advocate continues to publish news, opinion, profiles, and cultural coverage for LGBTQ+ readers.

Its archive is a genuine historical record of the LGBTQ+ movement, and its ongoing coverage provides context and depth that newer publications sometimes lack. The Advocate has always maintained a strong focus on political news and advocacy alongside culture and lifestyle coverage, making it a useful resource for readers who want to understand the current legal and political landscape affecting LGBTQ+ people.

For LGBTQ+ readers who want a publication with roots in the community’s history and a continued commitment to serious journalism, The Advocate is one of the foundational voices in queer media.
