THEEDITOR EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Stanford Altamirano MANAGING EDITOR Mark Ariel ART DIRECTOR Nadeen Torio MARKETING CONSULTANTS Tom Pardoe Eric Slayton Joe Faragher With his first single “Sideways” featured on iTunes and downloaded nearly half a million times—and his song “Ten Feet Tall,” featured in a Bud Light commercial during the 2014 Super Bowl—it’s safe to say that singer and songwriter Stephen Wrabel (better known as simply “Wrabel”) is on his way to becoming a household name, writes Mark Ariel in this issue’s cover feature—“Moving Forward Sideways” on page 32. Wrabel, headlining at Palm Springs Pride this month, has written songs for Phillip Phillips, Adam Lambert, Katharine McPhee, Pentatonix, Will Young, and Ellie Goulding and is consistently called upon by top producers in the music industry while continuing to write for his next record. In the interview with THE FIGHT Wrabel, a gay man, talks about a painful breakup, his creative process and the “bully in his head.” Also in this issue Brenden Shucart examines a “sexual revolution quietly building momentum”—gay polyamorous relationships (“When Three Is Not A Crowd,” page 38). “Not to be confused with polygamy, an often very repressive system where one dude is entitled to multiple wives, polyamory can be described as the practice of accepting non-exclusive romantic and/or sexual relationshipsbasically ethical and honest non-monogamy,” explains Shucart. >> IN THIS ISSUE
