Kick off the new year with Queer Vision Volume 2, Issue 1: a thoughtfully redesigned issue that marks one full year of queer storytelling, creativity, and community.

This January edition features a refreshed format while continuing to center real, unfiltered voices from across the queer spectrum. Inside, you’ll find powerful interviews with drag artists, writers, organizers, and creatives, including Merlin (aka Robyn Graves/Mars), Alexander Verbeek-van den Toren, Alex (aka Andi Hades), Nurse Nikki, and more.

This issue explores drag as gender expression, queerness in fantasy writing, mental health, harm reduction, art as survival, and the beauty of seeing ourselves (and each other) with fresh eyes. Also included are guest articles, poetry, vintage queer ads, horoscopes with bite, a cryptogram puzzle, community spotlights, and a heartfelt letter from the editor welcoming readers into Volume 2. Queer Vision is more than a magazine; it’s a place to feel seen, connected, and reminded that you are not alone. Whether you’re here for the stories, the art, or the sense of belonging, this issue invites you to start the year grounded in queer joy, resilience, and community.
