The goal of YGA Magazine is to celebrate young ("non-straight") life, give you tools that you need to be strong, powerful, awesome, and happy, give you great photos to look at, help you survive in the world, and give an alternative to all those straight-focused teen magazines and TV shows out there. YGA's been making media (TV, website, books) for about five years now: our goal is to create stuff that you enjoy. So if there's something you want... something you're really aching for, that nobody else provides... let us know. Don't keep it silent :)
