From the Editor: November Issue

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from 2020, 2021, and hell, also 2022, our best-laid plans don’t always come to fruition. When I was initially planning this issue, I was hoping to see it go in a more tech, science, STEM, direction. But while that is still a great idea for a theme, life happened, and we got something a little different instead.

As we are moving closer to election season, an exciting announcement came from the queer Colorado camp: out, Colorado representative Leslie Herod is running for Denver mayor! I wanted to squeeze her in this issue along with the other amazing content we had planned; it felt like a missed opportunity not to include her, even though she didn’t really fit the theme. Luckily, she fit in awesomely alongside amazing local DJ Buddy Bravo and some of the amazing celebs we also snagged for this issue.

So, all that is to say, please enjoy this issue full of amazing, vibrant queer identities. It may not be exactly what we planned, but is it ever? In our case, it’s often not, but our community is vibrant and growing, and the unplanned often turns out even better than the planned.
