Lavender Magazine printed their final issue on Wednesday. The publication focused on telling stories of the LGBTQ+ community in the Twin Cities, was founded in 1995 by George Holdgrafer and Stephen Rocheford.
Barry Leavitt, former vice president of sales and marketing confirmed to MPR News that employees were informed Wednesday that the publication was closing.
“As the longest tenured employee, I’ve enjoyed the relationships I’ve built with clients and within the LGBTQ+ community,” Leavitt said. “I hope in a small way that I’ve helped make life better for our community.”
The closure comes just before Pride celebrations kick off in Loring Park in Minneapolis this weekend.
This is a developing story.
