Them (stylized as them.) is an American online LGBT magazine launched in October 2017 by Phillip Picardi and owned by Condé Nast.[1][2][3] Its coverage includes LGBT culture, fashion, and politics.[4][5]
History[]
In 2017 Picardi, then the director of Teen Vogue, proposed to Anna Wintour, Condé Nast's artistic director, that the company create an online, LGBT-focused media platform.[6] Founding editors included Meredith Talusan, Tyler Ford, and James Clarizio,[7][8] and launch partners included Burberry, Google, Lyft, and GLAAD.[9][10]
Upon the website's launch, there was some controversy over its naming, which some considered to be "othering".[11] The name is derived from the singular them pronoun,[12] emphasizing a gender neutral approach including in its fashion coverage.[13][14]
Picardi left Them and Condé Nast in the fall of 2018 to begin working as editor-in-chief of Out magazine.[15][16] Whembley Sewell was named the new executive editor in 2019.[16][17] In October 2021, Sarah Burke became the new editor-in-chief of Them.[17][18]
In 2020, Them hosted two virtual Pride Month events, Themfest and Out Now Live.[19][20] Out Now Live, its June 2020 virtual gay pride event, included speeches, LGBT history and musical performances.[4][21] It was produced in collaboration with Pitchfork.[20][21]
