Happy Pride Month everybody!

Last year we all stood proudly as gay marriage was finally legalized in all 50 states within the US, but this year let's stand and remember all four corners of the world where we are still a far cry from actual acceptance .

In this issue of The Safe Zone magazine, we discuss what it means to be gay in an illegal world. The devastating effects of a world where being free to love whomever you wish is still not a part of the constitution.

Ryan takes us through the journey of coming out; a struggle many of us have faced or are still yet to face and because we know this is a life long journey we take an educational look at different genders and sexuality within the community.

Also, look out for our monthly competition and all the amazing campaigns we will be featuring and interviewing throughout the month of June.

Stand gay and proud!

Note:  This issue was published fairly late this month, but we will get the next issue up promptly at the beginning of July.  Thank you for your cooperation!

Jayden was never meant to be a prince, but when he gets adopted by the king and queen, he has to prepare himself for the challenges ahead. Luckily, his personal knight, Kam, is there to help him out. Together, they will have to deal with mages, fight dragons, and face windigos. Follow them as they learn more about each other, and learn to look past their deferences to accomplish their goals and save the kingdom. Firstly, a huge thanks to my friend Sophia (@sopheyyis or @B1ashe) for drawing the cover. She is an amazing artist, go follow her on instagram and tik toc because she is the best. Warning: this is not for kids or people sensitive to triggers. I tend to write on the dark side, just so you know. There will be no smut, but there will be mentions of sex, abuse, abandonment, a little bit of swearing and this list could be updated as the story goes on. I usually don't write romance, but I want to get better at it, so here we go... About updates, I wish I could say I will be posting at least once a day but I know that won't be true because I'm currently editing my book that I am publishing this summer (2020) and this story is more of just a de-stressor (is that a word) so the grammar and writing, especially the tense (it will most likely flip between present and past tense, just pretend it is all the same) might not be perfect, but I just felt like writing it. I will publish at least once a week Now with that out of the way, I just wanna say, hope ya enjoy the story. Have a great day and keep being your amazing you!
The Way Love Changes You; Book One: Love's Firsts by redisle_love
45 parts Complete Mature
Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on? [Content/Trigger Warnings- the main warnings are scenes of sexual activity, and suicidal talk/attempt, along with mentions of said attempt. Everything else is listed inside the book! Please read the list before reading the book!] [Word count: +140,000 words...I write a lot, but enjoy anyway!]
Facts Of Life: The Circle Of Life by OhioExPat
10 parts Complete Mature
With Jo Polniaczek now an active part of Blair's Foundation to legalize same-sex marriage in New York, the pace of pressure on the New York State government intensifies. Will Jo and Blair finally attain their dream, and that for so many others? Or will politics again stand in the way of their goal? Notes: This is the final installment in my Facts of Life: Fire and Rain series. What started as kind of a lark has ended up being a very rewarding experience as it developed in my mind. Jo and Blair are TV characters, obviously, but in this set of stories, they depict what many real-life people went through, and continue to go through, simply for who and how they love. The most stark case ever may be that of Matthew Shepard, who was brutally murdered simply because he was gay. This is dedicated to everyone who fought to secure same-sex marriage as a right for all Americans. Yet even thought it is law, it is still under threat from bigots and haters. May their dedication continue through the day that there is no more hate simply for wanting to love. Note: all the political details in here are correct in the dates that they occurred. Of course, I've taken a little creative license to the events. And, as usual, there is a Soundtrack with this. I'm posting a new song to the Soundtrack as I post individual chapters. Plus there will be additional tags added as the story progresses, so keep an eye out for them. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCBF0ydO8AFJbP0Et6Y6_PyL3ic-1qLku Enjoy the end of this series.

But when a new coworker, Giselle, seems intent on getting closer to Drew, will she finally admit her feelings and allow herself to live the life she wants? Let's find out! ****** Here I truly appreciate my awesome friend and wonderful writer @loiosh who did the editing work for my story. And also, I was so thankful he shared this story idea for me to write! Feel free to visit his page. There have many fantastic stories for you to read and put a fat smile on your face after you finished reading his books! Writing completed on 2nd April 2023. Fully posted on 25th August 2023. This would be a temporary book cover. I really stan Namtamfilm a lot! Also, their vibe and appearance fit the characters for my story. So, I would use them as my book cover at the moment.
