Description
The Advocate's June 16, 1992 issue features k.d. lang on the cover, coinciding with her public coming out as a lesbian. In the cover story titled "Virgin Territory: k.d. lang," she discusses her sexuality and its intersection with her career, stating, “I don't feel political about my preference. I just don't. I'm sorry to disappoint you hard-cores, but I don't!”
This issue not only highlights lang's personal journey but also represents a significant moment in LGBTQ+ visibility within the music industry. Her openness paved the way for future artists to embrace their identities publicly, challenging industry norms and societal expectations.
A rare collectible that stands as a testament to lang’s artistry, activism, and enduring fan connection.
