 Dear qvReaders
Welcome to the new issue of qvMagazine,
our 2nd Anniversary Issue--qvXII. The last two years have been
absolutely incredible for us. The love and support we've received
from our readers has truly inspired us to make qvMagazine the
nation's largest and most respected Latino publication in
the market. To each and every person and organization that has
supported us along the way, thank you for helping us inspire,
motivate, and change the lives of many Latinos-for the better.
This 2-Year Anniversary Issue also marks
our second annual "Sexuality Issue." Last year, when
we tackled the topic of sexuality, we looked at ourselves from
within-what we, as Latinos, do sexually and how we feel about
our sexualities. This time around, we decided to do something
different by looking at the bigger picture and exploring how
we, as Latinos, co-exist with the rest of the heterosexual
world.
Quite often, we hear stories in both mainstream
and QV media about the hatred and mistreatment that QVs receive
from straights. But what's often overlooked is the fact that
there are millions of straight people who have positive relationships
with openly QV family members, QV best friends, and QV co-workers.
These straight compadres y comadres deserve to be recognized
and thanked.
In our annual "Sexy Hombres"
section (seen only in the print version), we wanted to show that
true beauty, especially in our Latino culture, transcends a person's
sexual orientation. So for the first time ever, we've included
both QV guys and straight guys in this special section-because
these guys are beautiful in all ways possible: physically, mentally,
and spiritually.
As we discussed, in our last issue, qv11
Pride, it's important for us as Latinos to remember who we
are. It's important for us to transcend the stereotypes of homosexuality-and
to show everyone that we are loving and spiritual human beings
just like every one else. But just as important, it's wise for
us to allow ourselves to function and integrate with the rest
of the world--in a positive way.
In challenging times, instead of throwing hate, try love. In
difficult moments, instead of being bitter, try forgiveness.
When we show this positivity to others, it will reflect back
towards us, and the world will be a better place.
So open your mind, fill your heart with
positive energy, and enjoy the Sexuality II Issue of qvMagazine!
