Reflecting on 10 Years of OutClique and the Joy of the Season

By Steven O. Evans, PhD, Publisher & Megan Fitzgerald, PhD, Senior Associate Editor

As this year comes to a close, we’re filled with both gratitude and pride. This month marks a truly special milestone for OutClique Magazine — our 10th anniversary. Ten years ago, we set out to create a publication that would celebrate the stories, voices, and spirit of South Florida’s LGBTQA+ community. What began as a local passion project has grown into a platform that connects and informs our readers across the region and beyond.

None of this would have been possible without you — our readers, advertisers, contributors, and friends. You are the heartbeat of OutClique, and your continued support and enthusiasm have fueled every issue, every feature, and every event we’ve shared over the past decade.

As we celebrate this milestone, we also want to take a moment to wish you the very best this holiday season. May your days be filled with warmth, laughter, and love — surrounded by the people who make your world brighter. Whether you’re celebrating at home, traveling to see loved ones, or finding moments of quiet reflection, we hope the season reminds you of how far we’ve all come, and how much joy there is still to share.

From all of us at OutClique, thank you for being part of our family and our story. Here’s to ten years of pride — and to many more to come.

With heartfelt wishes for a happy holiday season and a vibrant new year,
Steven O. Evans, PhD
