The Modern Queer Magazine strives to feature LGBTQ+ melanated people from Flint, Michigan, the United States, and worldwide. From racism issues within the queer community, laws, relationships, living life on the down-low, religion, and more, we explore the intersectionalities of queerness authentically and candidly.

Out of Flint, Michigan, comes The Modern Queer Podcast, a show that gives insight into Flint's local music scene dubbed the "Flintdustry," the LGBTQ+ community, and so much more through hilarious unfiltered conversation and incredible stories.
