This issue is like, so gay. No really, it is. And not in a nasty, bigoted, homophobic way either. Just gay. OK? We take a good hard look at what this term means with the help of the Queer Collective and This Is Oz, an initiative encouraging all of us to help speak up for an inclusive Australia. Check out the celeb (and UNSW!) endorsed campaign on page 8 plus the full spread of Queer Week events in What’s On (page 12). We also get a one-on-one with the fabulous Margaret Cho (page 7) and scout out your views on pride and gay icons in Vox Pops (page 23, but you already knew that, didn’t you?). In keeping with Queer Week’s spirit of diversity we’ve got everything from footy (page 21) to frocks (page 19) in this edition, plus some sweet giveaways (page 22).
