Nominations for Reader’s Choice Honoree Now Open
New York, NY (July 1, 2024) - In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Out100 is thrilled to launch a groundbreaking digital hub that will serve as a comprehensive archive and celebration of the LGBTQ+ community's changemakers over the past three decades. This innovative platform will feature iconic covers from the Out100 archive, select personal essays from past honorees, and profiles of honorees who have graced the list over the years.
The Out100 digital hub represents a monumental effort to preserve and honor the rich history and cultural impact of the LGBTQ+ community. Users will have access to a wealth of content, including exclusive interviews, powerful personal narratives, and stunning photography that has defined Out100's legacy. The hub will serve as a testament to the community's progress and resilience and as an inspiration for future generations.
"We are incredibly proud to launch this digital hub as part of our 30th-anniversary celebrations," said Mark Berryhill, CEO of equalpride, the publisher of Out. "This platform will offer an unparalleled resource for anyone interested in the history and achievements of the LGBTQ+ community, providing a space to reflect on how far we've come and to look forward to the future."
Daniel Reynolds, Editor-in-Chief of Out, added, "The Out100 has always been about recognizing the trailblazers, advocates, and creatives who have significantly impacted our community. With this digital hub, we are ensuring that their stories are preserved and accessible to all. It's a celebration of our past and a commitment to continue uplifting LGBTQ+ voices."
“Out continues its critical role of celebrating LGBTQ+ joy and spotlighting queer culture today,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, President of GLAAD, the nation’s leading advocacy group dedicated to fair and inclusive LGBTQ+ media representation. “The Out100 digital hub is a necessary and impactful resource for audiences to connect with LGBTQ community leaders from years past, further cementing that all queer history is vital and worthy of preservation. By offering this in-depth look at all of the outstanding diverse voices who have been honored, young and future queer changemakers will be inspired to engage with our community’s legacy and learn what really goes into being a trailblazer.”
The Out100 digital hub will be accessible to everyone, offering an invaluable educational resource and a platform for celebrating the diversity and accomplishments of the LGBTQ+ community. As Out100 marks this significant milestone, the digital hub is a testament to the ongoing journey towards equality and inclusion.
