About This Issue

Late Fall 2021

We are fighting for equality in your hometown. We are gearing up for the 2022 midterm elections. We are amplifying the voices of all members of the LGBTQ+ community. We are all in it - together.

Cover art: Angie Quintanilla Coates is an artist, business owner and advocate of all things positive and progressive. In this illustration, different shapes and colors come together to create something vibrant and joyful. Coates views this as a reflection of community — how as individuals, we can create something bigger and more impactful when we come together. Follow Coates at instagram.com/thefive15/.
