Description

The Advocate's June 16, 1992 issue features k.d. lang on the cover, coinciding with her public coming out as a lesbian. In the cover story titled "Virgin Territory: k.d. lang," she discusses her sexuality and its intersection with her career, stating, “I don't feel political about my preference. I just don't. I'm sorry to disappoint you hard-cores, but I don't!” This issue not only highlights lang's personal journey but also represents a significant moment in LGBTQ+ visibility within the music industry. Her openness paved the way for future artists to embrace their identities publicly, challenging industry norms and societal expectations. A rare collectible that stands as a testament to lang’s artistry, activism, and enduring fan connection.

Our multi-layered, witness-based authentication process (TRuEST™) sets a new industry standard and comes backed by a money-back guarantee. TRuEST™ replaces old-school certificates of authenticity with immutable provenance stored on the blockchain, clearly showing population data, creation dates, and key item details. This information cannot be altered, backdated, or hacked and remains accessible at all times. Each item is uniquely fingerprinted using our patent-pending covert markings and tamper-resistant OVD holograms.
