From the The Milwaukee Journal:
“Our collection [of about 25oo zines] is made up of zines about sex, sexuality and gender. The zines don’t pull punches because they’re from folks writing about out lives,” QZAP co-founder Milo Miller said.
Miller and Chris Wilde founded the Queer Zine Archive Project – or QZAP – in 2003 by putting their personal collections of queer-punk zines in an online database.
