If you're lesbian you are probably already aware that it can be difficult to receive news and information pertaining directly to you from other periodicals. This magazine succeeds in covering this void that is often ignored by other media publications. CURVE delivers news, entertainment, human interest, and travel features focusing exclusively on the lesbian community. I have read this magazine for many years and have found it to be an invaluable resource. With a conscious effort to include racial, class, and ability differences I believe CURVE appeals to virtually every lesbian audience. It is mailed in a black wrapper to protect privacy (for those who are concerned). Despite my praises there are downfalls. Issues are not published every month and the magazine's short length can be a disappointment. But regardless, I continue to subscribe to CURVE because I feel it is well worth reading.

I'm a recent subsciber, but I think that Curve is a must need for every lesbian. I'm a teen whos just now comeing out, so this magizine has helped me view the lesbian world and feel comfortable with my self. It helped show me the culture behind being a lesbian rather then a bunch of wild lesbain sex which is often the way socitey portrays lesbains. It is definatly a must have.

Yes, like every other dyke in America I watch The L Word. But too much of the content of the magazine is about the show and it's actors: straight and lesbian. Give us a break, there are too many smart,strong,talented lesbians that would be of interest to focus on one TV series.

Curve has all the lastest & greatest news on just about anything you can think of on your favorite lesbian's. There's alot of humor in it. They also have top picks for books, CD'S & DVD'S. It's just pack with all kinds of interesting things.

Overall Curve is a great magazine and i've been reading it for 5 years now. Only problem I have with it is, it does not really represent the african american lesbian, if it did, I would then, subscribe to it.

I recently emailed Curve to try to get a subscription. I have a gender-neutral name, and the editors assumed I was a man. Well, I am not. They told me that I was probably looking for a different magazine, because they are a lesbian magazine. They gave me the number for 'American Curve' magazine instead. I am really offended. Even if I had been a man, why should men (fathers, male relatives, and friends of gay women) be excluded from subscribing? I hate when some lesbians act out this stereotype of man-haters. My wife and I have plenty of male friends, and those friends would probably pick up an issue of Curve and flip through it just to see what's going on with "our people".
This really hurt my feelings.

I absolutely love this magazine. It's everything I thought and definitely hoped that it would be. Great for new and the old that enjoy listening and learning about others of their equal.

I always look forward to getting my Curve magazine in the mail. The articles are relevant to lesbian and bisexual women, as well as thoughtful, entertaining, and informative. I highly recommend this awesome magazine.

While this magazine is far from perfect,
it does offer the very best of any magazine
for women who love women. I also LOVE
the dvd "The L Word" and the video "Goddess Worship".

I am a big fan of Curve magazine, and I am trying to still be one. However, I subscribed to the magazine months ago. Yet I have yet to receive anything. I've been e-mailing with people at the magazine for an extended period of time, being told I would get my first magazine soon, and after a while I asked for my money back. Now I keep being told I will have my return in the mail soon. Several e-mails have said this now. 5 months of this now.

It's most likely nothing against the magazine, which is why I'm giving it two stars. It's the subscribers that are having an issue.
I'd say spend a little more money and buy it each time it comes out at Border's.
