LONDON Frances “Franco” Stevens was just 23 when she launched a glossy lifestyle magazine for lesbians in 1991, after raising funds by taking cash out on credit cards and betting on the horses.
The gamble paid off and now 30 years on, documentary Ahead of the Curve celebrates Curve magazine’s groundbreaking history and explores its future.
“At that time … there was nothing that showed lesbians in the positive everyday view,” Ms. Stevens, who started the magazine in San Francisco, told Reuters.
“I would say the biggest controversy we had with starting was putting the word lesbian on the front cover because that meant every time somebody wanted to buy it, they were essentially coming out to anyone standing around them, anyone who saw it in their house.”

This fervently supportive documentary about the iconic lesbian magazine Curve and its founder-publisher Frances âFrancoâ Stevens is directed by Stevensâs wife, Jen Rainin, and itâs both energised and hindered by her preaching-to-the-choir approach. Stevens was a San Francisco woman who in the 1980s got married young, came out as lesbian, was shunned by her family and briefly became homeless. In 1990, she launched what was then called Deneuve magazine by maxing out a handful of brand new credit cards, betting everything at the horse races â and winning big.
Itâs a staggering story, virtually the American dream in action, especially as Deneuve went from strength to strength, with celebrity interviews, national ads and rocketing circulation. Stevens had the courage and vision to put the word âlesbianâ on the cover, and gay women responded passionately to her mission to bring them visibility.
