This was the first Lesbian Sports magazine Holdings: Late Summer 1991; Freezin season Issue #5 1991; flowers-showers 1992; endless summer 1992

Context

"When I originally imagined Girljock magazine as a forum on the lesbian sporting experience, the bits of mainstream media coverage of women in sports either ignored lesbians or would merely report that so-and-so was accused of being a lesbian, or all too rarely, so-and-so came out of the closet. The reality of the lesbian experience differs from what the mainstream of media will report. In Girljock magazine we are describing our own sporting lives, without the mainstream media's bias. Good-bye to all that mainstream mush." - Editor: Roxxie
