 Out (ISSN 1062-7928) is an LGBT fashion, entertainment, and lifestyle magazine, with the highest circulation of any LGBT monthly publication in the United States. It presents itself in an editorial manner similar to Details, Esquire, and GQ. Out was owned by Robert Hardman of Boston, its original investor, until 2000, when he sold it to LPI Media, which was later acquired by PlanetOut Inc. In 2008, PlanetOut Inc. sold LPI Media to Regent Entertainment Media, Inc., a division of Here Media, which also owns Here TV. 

 The Advocate is an American LGBT-interest magazine, printed bi-monthly and available by subscription. The Advocate brand also includes a website. Both magazine and website have an editorial focus on news, politics, opinion, and arts and entertainment of interest to lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender (LGBT) people. The magazine, established in 1967, is the oldest and largest LGBT publication in the United States and the only surviving one of its kind that was founded before the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City, an incident that is generally credited as the beginning of the LGBT rights movement. 

 We are a community. We strive not only to inform but to listen, to collaborate, to work together. We believe that the life of our work does not exist in words and images, but in the people they embody and the conversations they spark. We want our work to live beyond the page and inside the hearts of those who come to us. We are a movement. We are part of the legacy of those who lived, loved, and fought before us. We believe that every LGBTQ+ person deserves to live life peacefully, happily, and on their own terms. We are committed to representing the breadth of our community and not only those in positions of privilege and advantage.

Though Gaye's primary content involves the African-American community, each publication showcases diversity to bridge the gap between all walks of life. In 2018, journalist and business investor K. Keith joined Gaye Magazine as co-founder and Editor in Chief, re-branding Gaye as an online LGBT "blogazine", a fusion of a blog and a magazine. The current success of the magazine stems from its unique community based focus and blog style social media presence, enabling us to interact and foster a public forum for our supporters, aka the #Gayes.

Our chapter supports students and educators locally, organizes around LGBTQ-affirming public policy, plans teacher trainings, and hosts events for students, educators, parents, and allies. Chapters like ours play an important role in bringing GLSEN’s programs and visions to right where we live, work, and learn. While some chapters have full-time or part-time staff, most are entirely volunteer-based. We're always looking for new volunteers to help us ensure safe schools for all students.
