Archer Magazine is an Australian print publication about sexuality, gender and identity. It is published twice-yearly in Melbourne, Australia. The magazine was founded by Amy Middleton, the founding publisher.[1]
The magazine has covered taboo topics such as sex and aging in 2015[2] and been the subject of controversy over editorial choices such as including a photo of an exposed nipple in 2017.[3] One of its distributors deemed it "inappropriate for sale"[4] and its founding editor, Middleton, speaks publicly about censorship and online abuse.[5]
In 2014, it won Media Award category in for Australia's Honour Awards, an annual event that recognizes achievements within or contributions to NSW’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) community.[6] It has also received the LGBTI (Lesbian Gay Bi Trans Intersex) Honour Award, a finalist place for Publishers Australia Magazine Launch of the Year, and a nomination for the UN Human Rights Medal.[7]
