Onyx: Black Lesbian Newsletter was a bimonthly magazine focusing on Black Lesbian life and culture.[1] Originally titled Black Lesbian Newsletter, Onyx: Black Lesbian Newsletter was published in the San Francisco Bay Area from 1982 to 1984.[2] The newsletter contained articles, poems, personal adds and original art and photographs. Onyx is notable for being the earliest of three Bay Area publications including Aché and Issues which focused on Black Lesbian life and culture, the longest running of which was Aché: A Journal for Lesbians of African Descent which was published from 1989 to 1993.[3] Onyx covers were illustrated by Sarita Johnson.
