BLK was an monthly American newsmagazine, similar in format to Time (magazine) and The Advocate, which targeted its coverage of people, events, and issues to African American LGBT readers. Published in Los Angeles, the magazine was initially distributed free to local Black establishments frequented by gays and lesbians, but distribution rapidly expanded to nearly all GLBT venues in Greater Los Angeles. Its early coverage of the local black LGBT scene soon enlarged to a nationwide and international focus, and eventually to national and Canadian distribution.

abstract
  • BLK was an monthly American newsmagazine, similar in format to Time (magazine) and The Advocate, which targeted its coverage of people, events, and issues to African American LGBT readers. Published in Los Angeles, the magazine was initially distributed free to local Black establishments frequented by gays and lesbians, but distribution rapidly expanded to nearly all GLBT venues in Greater Los Angeles. Its early coverage of the local black LGBT scene soon enlarged to a nationwide and international focus, and eventually to national and Canadian distribution. Sub-titled "The National Black Lesbian and Gay Newsmagazine", with the motto "where the news is colored on purpose", BLK (always capitalized) took its name from the standard abbreviation used in U.S. personal ads for "black", i.e. a person of sub-Saharan racial descent.
