Boston-based, The Rainbow Times is the only minority-owned (partly women, partly Hispanic, partly transgender) publication dedicated to the LGBTQ community and its allies. Founded in 2006, The Rainbow Times has become New England’s largest LGBTQ newspaper. Through its bold reporting, the publication increases awareness of today’s LGBTQ issues, while addressing the intersectionality of multiple and shared identities within the LGBTQ community.
The Rainbow Times stands out from other LGBTQ publications through its bold reporting and exclusive in-depth stories — written by PoC, non-trans allies, and trans individuals all falling on different places of the gender spectrum who are also veteran journalists and understand the ins-and-outs of reporting for marginalized groups. Intentionally, The Rainbow Times ensures that its reporting highlights the various intersectionalities found within this vast community. The Rainbow Times is also the most transgender inclusive LGBTQ publication in the region.
The Rainbow Times has been praised by the MA House of Representatives as the LGBTQ publication providing “inclusive news coverage” while “generously donating to local non-profits.” Boasting a monthly readership of 75,000, The Rainbow Times is a multiple award-winning publication that serves as a vehicle to unify and strengthen the diverse communities in New England and beyond. ISSN 2169-6136 (online) and ISSN 2169-6128 (print).
