In December 2014, Charleston celebrated the first issue of BEAU Magazine. Since then BEAU has collaborated LGBTA readers and LGBTA friendly businesses through mixed media, allowing more pathways to free, nonjudgmental commerce. BEAU has come a long way, but many LGBTAQI consumers are still weary of businesses that may not welcome the LGBT dollar. That is where BEAU Magazine comes in.
