ISSUE 2: ROANESQUE
This issue’s theme, whose title is a wordplay between pop phenomenon Chappell Roan and extravagant, Romanesque architecture, is about queer joy, queer audacity, and queer excess. In this issue, we encourage you to find your inner queen—What makes you unapologetically, defiantly proud? Also consider why celebration and pride are vital and powerful. Consider queer icons such as Chappell Roan and those who came before her—Janelle Monáe, Marsha P. Johnson, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, and so many more. Consider your favorite drag queens. Above all, consider the beauty and power in chutzpah, both internal and external.
