Hi there,
I want to ask you to help us do something important.
Between now and September 30, we’re working toward one goal: Becoming 1,500 Strong: a community of 1,500 members standing behind independent LGBTQ+ media.
Why is this important? Because the media landscape around us is changing quickly. LGBTQ+ sections at mainstream publications have been shuttering. Advertisers are pulling back from queer media, and outlets that have served our community for years are disappearing.
But we’re still standing. And we want to keep it that way.
For decades, our journalists and editors have covered the stories mainstream media too often overlooks. We’ve reported on the fights affecting our rights and the people breaking barriers. We’ve celebrated athletes making history and the cultural moments that bring us together. And we’ve told the smaller, everyday stories that can make someone feel a little less alone.
We want to keep doing that. And increasingly, it means relying on the people who value this work most: you.
It’s easy to read an email like this and think someone else will step up. That someone else will become a member or someone else will make sure this work continues.
But if everyone thinks that way, no one does.
This only works when those of us who believe LGBTQ+ stories deserve to be told contribute what we can. Whether that’s $5, $10, or more each month, every membership makes a difference—and every person who joins gets us one step closer to 1,500.
And yes, membership comes with benefits, including an ad-light reading experience and member discounts. But those are our thank you.
What matters most is what your membership allows us to keep doing: telling more stories, amplifying more LGBTQ+ voices, and making sure people in our community continue to see themselves reflected in the media.
If our work has ever informed you, entertained you, or simply made you feel more connected to this community, I hope you’ll stand with us now.
Help us become 1,500 Strong by September 30.
Because our stories deserve to be told.
Thank you for reading and for being part of this community.
Scott Gatz
CEO, Q.Digital
