For over thirty years, Curve magazine has been a beacon of visibility and pride. Filled with stories of resilience and triumph, the magazine paved the way for the creation of The Curve Foundation, a nonprofit founded to ensure that the voices and experiences of LGBTQIA+ women and nonbinary people are celebrated and preserved. Today, The Curve Foundation carries forward the mission of the magazine, which has ceased publication in print but continues as a digital quarterly, focusing on the positive representation of LGBTQIA+ women and non-binary people in media and building connections to the community and their shared history.
With over 30% of Generation-Z adults identifying as members of the LGBTQIA+ community, it is critical to belong to accepting communities and have positive role models, especially for young queer women and nonbinary people. In support of this, The Curve Foundation will continue hosting panels for young queer adults to discuss homophobia and misogyny, coordinating Lesbian Visibility Week events and initiatives, expanding the Queer Women’s Media Coalition, and ensuring representation in media through journalism fellowships, awards and the Curve archive.
