Every October, our dedicated audience fills us in on the hottest local LGBTQ and ally people and places. This year’s Gayest & Greatest Readers’ Choice Awards issue celebrates their recommendations in over 200 categories, and shines an additional spotlight on 14 of their top picks.
Three of our readers’ favorite Space City entertainers, photographed by the fabulous Frank Hernandez, are featured on this month’s cover. Writers Zach McKenzie, Sam Byrd, and Jenny Block introduce you to nonbinary actor Stoo, drag artist Queen Persephone, and musician DJ Athenz, respectively.
Elsewhere in this issue, we celebrate LGBTQ History Month by featuring queer pioneers who have made their mark on Houston—Arthur Cordova, Jan Pasternack, and Barbara Levine and Paige Ramey.
