From the Editor: Keep Giving

Welcome, beautiful queer fam, to our Thanks, I’m Giving issue! As the name implies, this issue, and all our online content this month, is about giving back and supporting nonprofits. 

I’m sure I don’t have to tell y’all that with the current state of the world, the country, and queer rights, nonprofit work is more important than ever to our community. And recent personal events have also underscored for me the need for community, connection, and to elevate the queer experience. 

But of course, we can’t keep it all serious—Life is too short not to have a little fun. So let our daddy vibes Thanksgiving photo shoot warm your heart as Dustin Schlong guides you through the nonprofit list like a late-night TV host. And, as always, there are some other great goodies in store in these pages. 

So, this November, remember to give back and give thanks, no matter what that looks like for you. If you don’t have the money to support queer nonprofits, there are plenty of other ways to support, like volunteering and sharing information. Here’s to reclaiming the season and staying thankful!
