A Decade of Instinct

Lights! Candles! Birthday cake! Instinct magazine is happy—and so proud—to celebrate 10 years of publishing with its 4th annual Leading Men issue.

November’s Instinct honors 25 outstanding men within the gay community, including best-selling author Armistead Maupin, funny man Alec Mapa, Hairspray composer Marc Shaiman, and NBA hoopster and dream date, John Amaechi.

Additionally, on the eve of World AIDS Day, the November issue highlights legendary singer Annie Lennox who shares her thoughts on why using her music to bring global awareness to HIV/AIDS is so important: “When [Nelson] Mandela personally described it [the worldwide HIV/AIDS pandemic] as a ‘genocide’—with the accrued death rate amounting to more than the numbers of both World Wars put together—I was profoundly affected. It was then that I decided to really get on board and do whatever I could to help bring attention to this completely unacceptable situation.”
To celebrate its 10th anniversary and their November issue’s amazing heroes, Instinct is throwing two gala parties. Festivities are scheduled in New York and Los Angeles. Both parties will be attended by Instinct Leading Men, Hollywood celebrities, VIPs…and, of course, a birthday cake! Find out more at Instinct.
