Farren Fucci and Dr. Oni Blackstock Recreate Out's First Cover

This summer, Out enters its 30th year with over 300 printed issues. Here, we revisit and re-create 10 covers -- celebrating them for what they were while reimagining them for newer audiences.

Out launched in the summer of 1992. And when it came to the cover, editors had quite the issue to solve. "It was really hard to figure out what to do," says Michael Goff, the first editor in chief. "We needed to communicate it was gay and lesbian, but if you put a gay and a lesbian together and it doesn't have the right air it looks straight."

The final result was casting a female model (credited as Jane from Click Agency) and painter Tom Ward, who was then a bartender, making kisses at the camera in a way that would read as approachable to the largest swath of people.

Farren Fucci and Dr. Oni Blackstock, who are a part of this new reimagining, both have stories that dovetail with access. Fucci came into the spotlight via audiences he built on social media before flipping that cultural cachet into work as a stylist -- and finally, an all-around creative and content creator. He uses those platforms to turn his followers on to new music or to have important conversations like when he disclosed he was living with HIV.

Blackstock helped lead New York City's response to the HIV epidemic. Now the founder and executive director of Health Justice, Blackstock continues her work in HIV and health equity while helping health-related organizations reduce inequalities in the communities they serve.
