I had just finished high school when “Don’t ask, don’t tell” was repealed and graduated college when the U.S. We both marked the major events of our time: I in my small, private ways and Out with glossy spreads and celebrity interviews.
I knew years ago - before I wrote for it - that the magazine and I were the same age. In that short life, I grew into a writer and sex pig, while Out published the work of such queer luminaries as Edmund White, Bret Easton Ellis, and Dustin Lance Black.
Out magazine and I both turned 30 this year (editor’s note: the anniversary edition is next issue).
