With their stories being heard we hope you will be as inspired as us to build courage and trust in ourselves to overcome all difficulties we may go through. Be who you are and love who you want, live it bold in style. 

In The Art issue, we look at some of the most astounding LGBT artist of our time. Each of them, despite facing some form of persecution at some point in their lives, stood up for their own truths and persisted in delivering their art, their gift, to the world. 

In our first ever Drag Issue, we had the privilege to speak with some of the most beautiful and talented drag queens and gender illusionists from around the world. Each queen shares a unique and personal account of life in the drag spotlight.

In this Love Issue, the couple on our cover is Josh and Eddie. Most of you would find the lovebirds familiar. This issue features a sexy photo-spread that embeds a very important message. Also, check out the hilarious guide to surviving Valentine’s Day as a single gay man; we bring you the story and plight of the “50-dollar men”; and where to eat, play, indulge and lose yourself in the debauchery of Phuket.

Instead of a festive issue, we decided to come out with the sex issue during this festive period because while fireworks are going off at public events across the world, we imagine all sorts of pyrotechnics going off under the sheets. There is no better time to ignite the romance with the magical atmosphere that lingers and the unfamiliarity of the New Year to have us scrambling for the familiarity physical intimacy brings.
