DNA #294 Celebrates Pride And The Power Of Sports
FEATURED: DNA #294 – The Sport Issue | BUY
Time to get hot and sweaty! This month, it’s all about sportsmen – from the grit and grunt of The Bingham Cup to our medal-winning Olympic gays! We chat with Aussie Olympic hopefuls Campbell Harrison (climbing), Jacob Despard (sprinter), and Shaun Connor (sailing). Discover the incredible story of how joining a gay rugby team transformed one man’s life and saved him from addiction. We also check out Pride House at the Paris Olympics and, of course, feature some cool sports gear – yes, grey track pants!
Bodybuilder Sam Vass graces our cover, celebrating body positivity and the power of self-confidence. And there’s more athletic artistry on display with models Miguel and Leo in our tastefully sexy sports Portfolios.
In arts and entertainment, Tim Draxl chats about taking on the role of a lifetime as Joe in Sunset Boulevard opposite Sarah Brightman. Sia is back with a brand new album of meaningful duets with pop chums like Kylie Minogue, Chaka Khan, and Labrinth. Jamie Irrepressible opens up about the importance of authenticity as a queer artist. And Tom Goss shares hard-won wisdom about love and betrayal, channelled into powerful new music.
We dive deep into how groundbreaking sci-fi classics like Dr Who, Star Trek and X-Men have always championed diversity, paving the way for today’s “woke” pop culture landscape.
Get ready to see a whole new side of Sri Lanka! We uncover the island nation’s hidden queer heritage and vibrant LGBTQ scene, proving this stunning destination is more gay-friendly than you ever imagined.
There’s also new music from Omar Apollo, Orville Peck, and Greg Gould; insightful new books from Chukwuebuka Ibeh and John Roberts; and more invaluable advice from our relationships expert, Vinko Anthony. Plus, we snigger at “straight pride” and get snarky about homophobic Buddhists.
All your favourite columns and regulars are back, too. Enjoy!
