Calverton, NY, February 19, 2015 --(PR.com)-- New York based Connextions Magazine, the Travel and Lifestyle Magazine for LGBT Traveler is pleased to announce a whole new look, including logo, website and branding, to commemorate 5 years of being the trusted source for the LGBT traveler. The magazine, with over 300,000 readers in 76 countries including: USA, Canada, Brazil, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Taiwan & Austria, recently requested love stories from the readers to feature in the February issue, which is appropriately titled: Love Around the World.
Issue #17: Love Around the World, features the stories of 5 couples in 4 different countries. Their stories tell tales of love, dating, romance, proposals, marriage and honeymoon and how the different countries played an important role. In these stories, the locations act as witnesses of their love. For example, a couple in New York City shares their engagement story. When Tony asked Xio for his hand in marriage, he first sent him on an all day scavenger hunt around New York City "gathering memories" of their relationship. At the end, when Xio arrives at the final destination, Tony is there with a group of friends and strangers and after an impromptu performance of Elton John's "This is Your Song," he pops the question.
The LGBT travel and lifestyle publication, which caters to the entire gay and gay friendly community, is now available on their website (ConnextionsMagazine.com), and can also be read via the Connextions Magazine's Apple and Droid apps, which can be downloaded for free. Editor-In-Chief, Manny Velasquez-Paredes (MVP), says about the magazine, "We cater to the entire scope of our community. We have articles that are specifically related to gay or lesbian travel, bisexual news, transgender resources, and we even feature LGBT Family Travel, which is a section that is very dear to me, because it is the one I am in charge of writing." As a Gay Dad, MVP knows what is like to travel with kids and knows that some of the issues LGBT parents face are far different than their hetero counterparts.
This issue also features and exclusive interview with Photographer Braden Summers, who created a project titled "All Love Is Equal," where same-sex couples are featured in iconic cities, such as Rio de Janeiro, Bali, Beirut, India, Paris, London and more. Braden says about All Love Is Equal, "it is a photographic series that challenges the social construct of 'iconic romance.' It is about looking at the iconic images of romance in advertising and movie stills and realizing that very few depict same-gender loving couples."
