ScotsGay is a bi-monthly magazine published in Scotland for the lesbian, gay and bisexual community.[2] Its website carries textfiles of all issues and, since 2005, pdf files of the whole magazine. Martin Walker became editor in May 2006. John Hein edited it from Issue 1 in December 1994 until Issue 69 in April 2006. He remains the publisher of the title.
The magazine has been in hiatus since issue 179, dated October 2016, due to John Hein suffering a minor stroke (he had resumed editorship of the magazine). However the website has been recently updated and ScotsGay expect to recommence publishing during Summer 2017.[3]
In the summer of 2019, it was announced that Taylor Crockett has taken over as editor with a brand new relaunch scheduled for April 2020.[4]
The magazine is based in Edinburgh.[5]
