It is hard to believe we are bearing down on the end of summer already. e year has certainly gone by quickly thus far. It has been an exciting summer, needless to say in light of the Supreme Court decision to legalize same sex mariage through- out the land. As the old cigarette commercial used to say, "You've come a long way baby." It's only going to get better, albeit with set- backs here and there. is month's feature is certainly an interesting one. Diversity Rules Magazine welcomes guest writer Joseph Gerbino and his interview with Anthony DeFiore, the found- er and Creative Director of Nev- erland -- billed as a costume ball with circuit music. "Neverland is like a Studio 54-style party" says DeFiore. "Every group is repre- sented from muscle guys, hipsters, drag queens, transsexuals, club kids, and more." is month also features regular columist such as Lee Lynch, Kris- ten MacKenzie, and David-Elijah Nahmod. Diversity Rules Maga- zine also welcomes Robert Kingett. Robert is a journalist and author who writes and speaks about many subjects including LGBT and dis- ability rights. His montly column should prove to be very enlighten- ing. is month our friends at Purple Roofs take us on a trip to Kauai, Hawaii. It is a beautiful gay island destination. Over the next few months J. Scott Coatsworth shall bring Kauai to your computer screens in all its vivid glory! Last, Diversity Rules Magazine is making another attempt at raising some funds to get back in print with a GoFundMe Campaign! My focus is always on satisfying both print and digital tastes. However the print version takes money and well, that is always the challenge to overcome. With your help Diver- sity Rules Magazine will succeed in its return to print format.
