With a lucky run at the track and chutzpah for days, Franco Stevens launched Curve, the best-selling lesbian magazine ever published. When Franco learns that Curve is failing, she turns to today’s queer activists to determine her path forward.

Ahead of the Curve is the story of the best-selling lesbian magazine ever published, Curve (or Deneuve, as it started out), and the woman who launched it in the early ’90s – the incomparable Franco Stevens.

When Franco learns that after 3 decades the magazine is faltering, she turns to today’s queer activists to help determine the path forward. Featuring a host of the original team, as well as Andrea Pino-Silva, Kim Katrin, Denice Frohman, Amber Hikes and Lea DeLaria, the story of Curve Magazine is also the story of lesbian visibility and community, from the 80s to the present day.
