Dear Friends:
Welcome to the July issue of Equal Magazine. We kick off this month’s issue with an important cover story that affects every LGBT person living in Pennsylvania…discrimination in the orkplace. Yes, while history was just made last month with marriage equality, there is still much work to do and we’ve got some important information to share with you on page 36 as we move forward into a new era of change, acceptance and visibility.
This issue also addresses another important topic about acceptance on page 28 with a story on body image and the naked truth about photo shopping and how we all look at beauty.
As our gay family grows and continues to expand to welcome more and more fabulously different queer as folks, so does our moniker and we’ve got an interesting read on page 32 that may have you talking about all the letters that make up our gay alphabet.
Equal Magazine also has packed this issue with tons of full color photos from last month’s numerous Pittsburgh Pride events including Fabulous Gay Friday, Equality on Ellsworth, Pride in the Street, the Pride March and Pride Fest. You may be surprised who you’ll see making
appearances in this issue including community leaders, volunteers, allies, friends and family members.
I’m also excited to tip you all off to an exciting feature we are already hard at work on for next month…in honor of marriage equality in Pennsylvania we will be presenting our first gay wedding issue and are excited to bring you everything you may need to plan your nuptials including something old, new, borrowed and YOU!
Love is indeed in the air now more than ever! Thank you for helping us to bring LGBT visibility everywhere.
With Love,
Joe King
Editor-in-Chief
