OutWeek magazine, published from June of 1989 to July of 1991, is now available in an online archive, thanks to the generous sponsorship by The Gill Foundation, Larry Kramer and Gabriel Rotello, with help from the One Foundation and Tectonic Theater Project. Rotello in his announcement said:
[T]he feisty magazine was instrumental in forcing the mainstream press to focus on gay issues at the peak of the AIDS crisis. OutWeek provided a crucial forum for gay and AIDS activism in an era before the Internet became widespread, and sparked a series of major controversies that landed on front pages around the world.
