We are getting into the Winter Moods with this issue of David. If summer is the parade, winter is the after-party where the real conversations happen. Set the mood accordingly with a few tips on how to change your perspective on the current season. If you need a mood boost, may we suggest you attend the Armorettes' 47th Anniversary show this coming Saturday, where the queens will once again prove that when drag meets devotion, the result is legendary. And in this edition of the Lavender Lens, Tristan Lane dives into how parental identity has become a socially sanctioned badge of relatability in the workplace – and how that can reflect less favorably on LGBTQ+ professionals. That and so much more in this issue of David!
