Great Love shouts from the newstand

Darren is the CEO of Stream Publishing (home of Attitude and Rolling Stone UK). In 2018, he was awarded an OBE for services to the economy, diversity and charity in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List. In his story, he talks about how he became the first gay owner of Attitude since it was founded almost 30 years ago, and expresses why he loves it for its positive representation of the LGBTQIA+ community.

“My parents owned a newsagents. The magazines fascinated me. Attitude portrayed a gay world that I wanted to be part of. I became the first gay owner of Attitude in 2016; Prince William was on the cover, with a quote about embracing and loving who you are.”
