Stonewall Publishing, Inc., is about more than just publishing QVegas. As a company, we pride ourselves on our active involvement in the Las Vegas gay community, our role as chroniclers of history and our ability to educate and call our readers to action.

In 1978, a group of community activists formed the Las Vegas Gay Times to report important political news to gay citizens and to foster a growing community. A few years later, the non-profit paper was purchased by a private company and renamed the Bohemian Bugle. It later changed to the Las Vegas Bugle, under which name it has operated until recently.

In 2001, the biweekly Las Vegas Bugle was purchased by Stonewall Publishing, Inc., and combined with our successful monthly magazine, Out Las Vegas. While maintaining the quarter of a century tradition of advocacy and journalism, the magazine was infused with a fresh perspective and a focus on entertainment. Stonewall Publishing also created the first successful gay community business directory and a number of special event guides.

In addition to creating and publishing QVegas and other products, Stonewall Publishing is highly active in the community itself. The magazine has been at the inception of many organizations that still exist today. We are presently sponsors of Las Vegas Gay Pride, AFAN Black & White Party, AFAN AIDS Walk, Bighorn Rodeo, Golden Rainbow's Ribbon of Life, and the Beaux Arts Ball. In addition to sponsoring these events, the company has donated in excess of $150,000 annually in donated or discounted advertising to worthy organizations such as the Gay & Lesbian Community Center and the ACLU.

Stonewall Publishing is active in the coordinating and organizing of fundraisers and special events as well. Since 2002, the company has planned and sponsored the National Coming Out Day Street Festival, which has already grown to be one of the premier events of the social calendar. Through the NCOD Street Festival, the company has raised thousands of dollars for local non-profit groups. Additionally, the company has organized dozens of smaller fundraisers for various causes through its 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, QVegas Foundation.

We're proud to say that the health and success of publications like QVegas encourages us and allows us to give back to our community in these ways. We want you to feel confident that when you support us, you are helping to assist, grow and support the gay community at large.
