A Day Out in LGBTQ America

OUT's previous art director, James Conrad, with the help of New York Magazine's Jordan Schaps, Donna Binder of Impact Visuals, and photo editor Brian Belovitch waded through the endless piles of Fed Ex packages, contact sheets, and slides to pull together these images from one day in our lives. It was a day picked at random-- as ordinary and extraordinary as any other.
This was originally published in the June 1993 issue of OUT.
