LGBTQ Nation is an American online news magazine headquartered in San Francisco, California. It was founded in 2009 and is currently owned by Q.Digital. The website is primarily marketed to the LGBT community. Through its parent company, it is affiliated with three other sites: Queerty, GayCities, and INTO.
Milo Yiannopolous was named LGBTQ Nation's "2016 Person of the Year" due to a reader driven poll. LGBTQ Nation, the Anti-Defamation League, and Vocativ said that Yiannopolous's supporters had posted about the poll on sites such as Reddit and 4chan, and that Breitbart News ran stories about the poll. At Yiannopolous's request, the editors of LGBTQ Nation removed a reference to him as "Alt-right". The decisions to nominate and interview Yiannopolous, as well as to remove the reference to him as "alt right", drew some backlash from the site's readers.
Interviews with people of interest to the LGBT community have been published to the website. This included interviews with LGBT Legislator and candidates such as Danica Roem, Mondaire Jones, Taylor Small, Sarah McBride, and Sharice Davids. LGBTQ Nation also held an interview with Gerald Bostock, one of the plaintiffs in the landmark Bostock v. Clayton County ruling.
LGBTQ Nation has provided international news coverage, especially concerning stories pertaining to LGBT topics. During the 2020 US presidential election, it had correspondents across the world. The site has published pieces related to LGBT history, including about the Gay Liberation Front, the Stonewall riots, and pre-Stonewall LGBT activity.
