This month brings us Valentine’s Day. The one day of the year that we put a lot of focus on Love. Not just love, but dating, relationships, and gifts filled with chocolates and flowers for that special someone in our lives. For some people, it can be the most dreaded day of the year, and for others it can be the most important day ever. In this issue, we take a look at love and relationships. We feel that everyone deserves a chance at love, even if that love is directed toward ourselves. So while you read this issue, we’d ask that you keep an open mind and an open heart. Because love is important. And everyone deserves a little in their lives. We’re dedicating this issue to the Add The Words campaign. We, at OutBoise, want to honor those who have fought so hard to make sure discrimination based on Gender Identity and Sexual Preference comes to an end in the State of Idaho. The struggle to get these simple words added to the Human Rights Act has been a long battle, and we believe this year, we will prevail. If you haven’t taken the time to look through our past issues, please be sure to check them out. We would also recommend staying up-to-date with all OutBoise-related activies by subscribing to our magazine, following us on Facebook and Twitter, and downloading or mobile app. We’re on our 4th issue of the magazine and we’re already starting to hear buzz around town about it. We guarantee you, by Pride this year, you will see some amazing things come. Not just in our magazine, but the other events we have planned in the near future. Thank you for taking the time to check us out! And be sure to tell your friends!
