New owners Of OUT Magazine and the ADVOCATE have donated to anti-LGBT Republicans
The new owners of OUT magazine and the ADVOCATE are the stepbrothers Adam Levin and Maxx Abramowitz, they are the founders and operators of Oreva Capital, which last September under the umbrella of PRIDE Media acquired the two LGBT publications along with related brands and intellectual property. They are also, respectively, the chief executive officer and lead investor of High Times magazine parent High Times Holdings.
However, it turns out the two new owners have given money to anti-LGBT politicians who have worked against that community.
Levin has donated to a number of Republicans including Devin Nunes, Dean Heller and Josh Mandel (all of whom have publicly taken anti-LGTBQ stances, like supporting religion-based discrimination), and Dana Rohrabacher (who recently said gay people can be denied the right to buy a home and has consistently opposed legal advancements for the LGTB community).

Interesting, but I can't boycott something I haven't bought in decades.

They're still in operation, R1, OP, so that sucks. Won't be touching it in someone's house now, either.

Yes, but how to boycott a haggard dying pair of publications one can't find on a newsstand, and whose content you abandoned years ago?

Maybe they will relaunch as Bashers Monthly with pics of especially effeminate mincing queens who are just asking for it. The climate seems right now.

Wasn't it OUT magazine that did an interview feature with Milo Y.?
Guess they were already heading that way even before the sale.

This is what conservatives do, they infiltrate and then destroy from within. They did it with school boards decades ago. They did it with Komen and the stunt the pulled cutting off Planned Parenthood a few years ago. It's why Republicans appoint incompetent people to high level cabinet and government positions who have demonstrated hostility to the very offices they are representing.

This is why r14 conservatives are garbage people. Nothing but moving backwards and tearing down. Never building up or looking forward. They're a blight on humanity.

We need new sources of media. Start a new magazine.
But this is very scandalous.

Call me a SJW, but after I found out that the Coachella festival is owned by right wing assholes who give to right wing causes I didn't put money in their pockets. Same will go for OUT and Advocate. I guess it gives these assholes a cheap thrill that they take that money and use it against the ones who gave it to them (like they tricked their customers real good and laugh at these fools!).
It's a disgrace that these were sold to right wingers in the first place. But money talks. Always.

Haven't looked at even the website in a decade. Knew someone who worked for them (selling ad space).

If "Rackover" said that then it was really creepy since the old guy was not his "dad". Was pretending they were dad and son part of the sexual thrill? Or maybe Joey after hearing the "dad" thing all night finally coked up said "He's not your fucking dad, you fruit!" and mayhem commenced.
