Day 6 of International Zine Month is: Zine Pride! Support zines created by LGBTQIA creators. Don’t know where to start? Check out the Queer Zine Archive Project! (QZAP.org)
The Queer Zine Archive Project is a great website to browse a collection that is also downloadable! I found it easier to got their archive section and use the “Quickly browse by” filters towards the middle right. If you look at the filter by year, the collection spans 1974 to 2014 and in the places there is one for San Diego! I randomly chose a zine by clicking around and I just read through Crushpuppy by Sarah Arrr, which is a 24 hour perzine (personal zine) that includes several letters written by Sarah.
I also wanted to shout out The Collective Coalition's first zine fest in March 2025 in San Diego with the theme Queer Health and Abundance. I missed out but heard great things and hope to catch the next one.
