From the Editor: Past, Present, and Future
It’s hard to believe, but another year is behind us, and we are moving boldly into 2023. While in many ways, our lives and society will never be the same post-COVID, in others, we’ve learned so much.
Because of COVID and the turnover we experienced at OFM, the business became women-owned for the first time in our 46-, soon to be 47-year, legacy. And as a society, we learned a lot about what NOT to do going forward—who not to elect, how to avoid hate, and how to be more respectful of marginalized folks. Though the shooting in Colorado Springs at Club Q proves there is still much more work to be done, and we are eager and ready to head up that conversation.
So this year, we did something a little different. Instead of just looking at what the year will bring, we are reflecting on our past, living in our present, and focusing on our future. After all, isn’t that what the human experience is all about?
We invite you to dig into these pages for some queer history, predictions, and current happenings, and thank you for giving us this legacy for another year!
