SisterSpace is a volunteer-run multi-generational festival that has been welcoming cis and trans women as well as non-binary individuals for a transformative weekend for the past 49 years. What started as a women’s self defense workshop weekend in 1975 has evolved into a 3-day extravaganza of concerts, DJ dances, activities, and a place where attendees feel truly at home.

Internet aficionados and cultural critics agree: 2024 is the year of the queer woman. But at GO Magazine, it has been the year of the queer woman every year since our launch over two decades ago. In June 2001, we set our mission to spotlight a list of 100 women, both cis and trans, who, despite marginalization and oppression, continue to excel and thrive. And thus, the first class of 100 Women We Love was born. Since then, the legendary 100 Women We Love has featured nearly 2,000 trailblazing women.

On March 2, 2024, we lost a beloved member of our community, Anastasia C. Ledwith, known to thousands as DJ Stacy. Stacy, 57, was riding her scooter home from a gig at 2:45am when she endured a fatal accident. She tragically died just steps from the apartment she shared with her wife Valerie Perez, whose love inspired her to live her best and most purposeful life. Stacy was an integral member of both the GO and NYC Nightlife communities, and was revered by so many of us.

As AMSEAS Field Biologist Allison DePerte explains: "They pull themselves on land to rest or warm up." No worries, they "hauled" themselves out! They're okay! Just count 'em if you see 'em and send details to the SIGHTINGS email/phone.

Accidental enemy of Mother Teresa. Two time widow before age 40. Victim of an exploding knee replacement. Kelli’s Dunham‘s comedy show Second Helping promises a plate full; and it delivers, minus actual nun on nun action (sorry to disappoint). The drop dead funny show is enjoying its second run at the East Village’s Caveat after a successful summer run at a gay bar in Edinburgh.
