The Wallflower: Your New Go-To Queer Lifestyle Magazine
The world of queer expression has found a new ally in The Wallflower Magazine, set to make its debut on June 28, 2025. Spearheaded by founder Milo Sanders, this publication aims to carve out a space for underrepresented voices within the queer community through compelling lifestyle content. It’s more than just a magazine; it’s a platform for those on the fringes, seeking to contribute their stories and perspectives.
A Vision for Representation
Milo Sanders, the brain behind The Wallflower, envisions a magazine that caters to queer individuals who often feel overlooked by mainstream media. Though new to the world of magazine publishing, Sanders brings a wealth of personal experience to the table. Saying, “I see a niche within the literary realm for queer voices, yet the lifestyle space is sorely lacking,” he is determined to change that.
The Wallflower’s mission is dedicated to showcasing a broad spectrum of queer identities, lifestyles, and issues, making it accessible to everyone who identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community or is an ally. The magazine promises to explore everyday topics people can relate to as well as touch on vital concerns that impact the queer community.
Monthly Digital Releases & Quarterly Print Editions
With a model rooted in self-funding and crowdfunding, The Wallflower will produce monthly digital editions that dive deep into various themes. Each quarterly print collection will feature select articles from the digital issues that have generated significant reader interest. These print editions won’t just be found anywhere—they’ll be available for direct purchase from the publisher and at select bookstores.
Sanders encourages readers to support their local bookstores in carrying The Wallflower magazine, stressing, “We are currently curating our list of suppliers and would love for community members to advocate for us at their favorite stores.”
Sections to Look Forward To
The magazine isn't just a collection of articles; it’s arranged into distinct sections that highlight different facets of queer life:
- - Media on the Margins: Reviews exploring indie media that often flies under the radar.
- - Profiles from the Margins: In-depth interviews with remarkable queer individuals who deserve more recognition.
- - Blooms: A look at the intersection of queer culture and environmental issues.
- - Great Talks from the Margins: Political discussions through a queer lens that are timely and relevant.
- - Photos from the Margins: A showcase of photography and artistic expression that tells a story.
- - Words from the Margins: Creative fiction and non-fiction pieces penned by queer writers, providing a platform for their voices.
Join the Journey
Sanders believes in collective growth and invites community members to join The Wallflower not only as readers but as collaborators. “We are committed to producing the best queer lifestyle magazine possible. Your collaborative support, whether through content creation or financial contributions, is invaluable,” he states.
As anticipation builds for the inaugural issue, the launch on June 28, 2025, promises to bring fresh narratives and stories to readers hungry for representation. For those wishing to support this endeavor further, early access to articles and exclusive content is available through their Patreon.
