Issue #6 – June 2021

We’re here, we’re queer, and we’re proud of it.

Love is love is love is love and it arrives in all different shapes and sizes. This month you’ll find eighteen looks of love in several shades we hope delight you: love of self, love of others, love in longing, and love in leaving. Acceptance, understanding, and wisdom all surface in these pages, along with agency, eagerness, and humor. 

As Julia mentions in their editorial, every single creator who contributed to this issue is queer, as is our entire staff. We’re deeply proud of this issue and thank you from the bottom of our watery hearts for helping make this magazine happen.
