The queer community represents people from all different walks of life — regardless of color, gender, sexuality, age, religion, nationality, or ethnicity — but not every group gets the same amount of attention. It’s no secret that the community tends to focus on white, cis gays and lesbians, despite all those other letters in our acronym. As a model, writer, and activist, Yasmin Benoit has been working to shed light on her community. In 2017, she noticed the lack of representation for asexual and aromantic individuals, so she decided that she would step up.
Each issue of Gaygenda magazine strives to share important news of the moment and to showcase movers and shakers in our wonderfully vibrant community. Every word in this issue comes from a team of diverse writers and editors who dedicate their time to curating an engaging and worthwhile read. Please enjoy, and remember to rotate halfway through!
