I wanted to include an editor's letter as a part of my magazine. Because the subject means so much to me, I felt that I could add in my own input of the subject into my magazine. Writing this editor's letter has made me realize that doing something like this in the future would be something of interest, even if it is not in the form of a magazine. I think that this letter also establishes a tone for the magazine in general, so I'm excited to add it into the final product. Here's an excerpt:
"It wasn’t until I was able to surround myself with an amazing group of people who were also queer that I was able to understand that being sapphic didn’t mean I had to be a certain thing; I realized I didn’t have to exist within stereotypes to be assured of my identity.
[...]Loving women is beautiful. It is pure and good. Far too often are we shamed for going against religions or ‘dirtying our souls’. But you cannot tarnish a soul as pure as one of a woman who loves another woman."
