State of the Rainbow

Our debut issue. In the cover story, State of the Rainbow, seven leaders of Minnesota LGBTQ+ organizations take stock of what has changed since the last election and what to consider before the midterms. Also inside: six queer artists we can't get enough of, flag football in Get in the Huddle, local queer media from golden age to renaissance, the journey to International Mister Leather, and October's Scene & Stage.
