By Steve Brown

The new Attitude Awards issue is out now to download and to order globally.

Featuring Dynasty star and gay icon Dame Joan Collins, Academy Award-winning singer Sam Smith, pop sensation Ava Max, out and proud singer/songwriter Mika, Christine and the Queens and everyone’s favourite TV doctor Dr Ranj Singh on six special edition covers, our new issue celebrates the great and good of the LGBT+ community and its allies.

As well as exclusive interviews with our four cover stars, also inside the issue are interviews with some of the best and most inspiring people from the LGBT community including transgender drag queen Peppermint, Hollywood movie star Taron Egerton, Queer as Folk creator Russell T Davies and Tales of the City writer Armistead Maupin.

The Attitude Awards issue also features Welsh rugby star Gareth Thomas, an eye-witness account of the Stonewall uprising from Stonewall barman and LGBTQ activist Tree Sequoia, and a moving interview with Ruth Coker Burks, the woman who helped thousands of gay men through the Aids epidemic.

Supporting the Attitude Magazine Foundation, the annual awards are dedicated to honouring those who inspire and make change, make LGBT+ lives easier, influence and entertain, or quite simply give us life.

Attitude Awards winners are those who use their platform to show how talented and diverse our great community is, and, whether they identify as LGBT+ or not, take the time to fight our corner.
