RFD (magazine)
''RFD: A Country Journal for Gay Men Everywhere'' is a reader-written magazine focused on gay country-living and alternative lifestyles. Founded in 1974, the magazine has been edited at various locations and by different communities over the course of its existence. While predating the Radical Faeries movement, it has long been associated with Faeries. The magazine is currently published on a quarterly basis from New England.
==Origins==
The magazine began with group of gay Iowans who attempted to place an advertisement in the countercultural ''Mother Earth News'' about organizing a gay-centered commune, Running Water Farm.〔 (based in part on Patt, Rocco (Running Water Farm co-founder). Personal Interview. 8 Dec. 1998.)〕 The request was rejected on the basis that they did not run gay advertisements.〔 The initial organizers of the commune decided to start their own magazine as a means of communicating with other rural collectives and radical faeries and gay men living outside of cities.〔 Stewart Scofield presented this idea for a magazine to reach out to rural gay men to the Rural Caucus of the first Midwest Gay Pride Conference in Iowa City in May 1974.〔 By that fall a collective of gay men centered in Iowa City had created it and they allied with the Women's Press there to print it.〔 Its first mailing address was Grinnell, Iowa, where Stewart lived. The Midwest/Northwest connection happened with the first issue and involvement from lovers Carl Wittman and Allan Troxler journeying back to Wolf Creek, Oregon from their roots in North Carolina.〔 Very quickly collectives in both locations took turns producing the quarterly.〔 The Running Water collective took on primary responsibility in 1980 giving ''RFD'' its first "comfortable headquarters."〔
According to Donald Engstrom, one of the early Iowa-based founders, the collective wrote to, and sent copies of the early issues, to every gay campus group they could find as well as to gay friends far and wide. The first issues of the magazine continued in this "pass along" basis with very passionate response from readers hungry for a gay publication out of the mainstream. The magazine has billed itself as "a country journal by gay men"〔(Issue #12 cover )〕 "for country faggots everywhere."〔(Issue #3 cover )〕
