Curve magazine founder Frances Franco Stevens celebrated the popular lesbian magazine s 30th anniversary with three big announcements last week. She bought back the publication, established a foundation to oversee it, and is releasing a documentary.
In 2010, lesbian publisher Stevens sold the magazine she conceived and grew for two decades to fellow lesbian publisher Silke Bader of Avalon Media in Sydney, Australia. Australian lesbian media expert Merryn Johns became editor-in-chief, leading the magazine in New York for the past decade.
That all changed this year. Stevens posted a video announcing the buyback of Curve and the launch of The Curve Foundation with the Black Eyed Peas I Got A Feeling playing in the background on her Facebook page Friday, April 16, the day the deal was finalized.
