Dear Lavender Readers,

As 2025 comes to a close, I want to thank you for being with us for another year here at Lavender Magazine. I’ve had the opportunity to meet many of you in person over the course of the year, and it’s been an honor.

This year, we celebrated our 30th anniversary of serving as a place for Minnesota’s LGBTQ+ community to share our stories. This new year will see the publication of our 800th issue in January 2026. It’s not every day you see a publication achieve milestones like these, and I’m proud to play a small part in them.

A new year brings new opportunities to the table, and we hope you’ll continue picking up our issues on the stands, seeing our featured stories online and following us on social media.

Meanwhile, we hope you use our 2026 Pride Pages directory for an assortment of local LGBTQ+-owned and allied businesses. I wish you a holiday season filled with joy and peace, as we look back fondly on 2025, then look ahead to the new year unfolding.

Sincerely,
Doug Starkebaum
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
