Summary

Do you remember buying your first ever edition of Attitude Magazine? This week we are deepdiving into LGBTQ+ culture with Darren Styles and Cliff Joannou, publisher and editor-in-chief of Attitude Magazine. From George Michael, to Prince William to the Heartstopper cast, Attitude has landed some of the most famous faces in the world as their cover stars. Today we discuss how difficult it once was to persuade LGBTQ+ people to be on their cover, how they have had to fight to remove Attitude from the top-shelves of newsagents and how their position as the biggest spokesperson for LGBTQ+ people continues to evolve!
