I read the entire article and am confused on the call to action. I am a gentile and not being snide, but this article reads like a history lesson (which I quite enjoyed!) moreso than what I believe it is trying to be. Nice photo of everyone. Is this going to be a series with the artists? Or did they just show up for the photo op?

Fascinating--the editor is Hanya Yanagihara, the author of A Little Life (among other works) who I personally really dislike--at least her novels and the way she comes off in interviews. But seeing as she's someone who has been criticized for writing almost exclusively about gay men (even if usually they don't self identify as gay) it does add an interesting context to what she says.
