Welcome to our annual Pride Issue!

This is our most important issue that we publish every year. Although every issue we publish is important – this one is where we pour everything you can think of into it!

Last year, I worked my first Pride issue as Managing Editor. With 200-plus pages to deliver to you, it was quite the task.

And, here you are. You are reading it.

This year’s Pride issue promises to bring you every aspect of our community. From previewing this year’s Twin Cities Pride to celebrating our community as a whole.

Yet, we have only so much space to tell you everything that makes up who we are, what we do, and why. If we included every possible story, that would double the number of pages we have to print. That would be quite a heavy magazine to carry…

My job here is to let you to discover everything we have to offer this issue, as you navigate through these pages. You will see many different stories, images, and ideas that come from people like us. That includes travel, nightlife, entertainment, sports…and so forth!

Therefore, I offer no spoilers. Like a good movie, it is better not to divulge what happens in the end.

Again, consider this your welcome to our Pride issue. And, welcome to Pride month! We’re so glad you’re here – authentic and true!
