COMPANY
Freshfruit, Inc. is an audacious and modern media company that believes it is time the LGBTQ+ community retreats from living at the fringes. Through compelling, energetic and honest journalism, our coverage breaks the mold and examines what it means to be LGBTQ+ in a continually more accepting society.
Freshfruit’s fundamental core value is to showcase LGBTQ+ individuals as being fully whole, vibrant, productive, and the true pioneers that they have been in shaping and moving the culture at large.
MISSION
To bring better LGBTQ+ representation and journalism to queer media; to reorient society to the contributions of the LGBTQ+ as pioneers, change makers, and cultural innovators; and to inspire queer youth.
WHO WE ARE
- We are not a subculture; we are the culture.
- The closet is for skinny jeans or a beat lace front.
- We come in all identities, genders and persuasions.
- You don’t get to define us. That’s our job.
- We champion the arts, beauty, entertainment, fashion, media and travel industries, but not solely nor exclusively.
- We don’t play second fiddle. Never.
- We don’t embrace equal, but separate.
- HIV & AIDS are not intrinsic to our identity.
- Struggle and queer are not synonymous.
- We live joyously.
- We love openly.
- We will not be deterred.
