Welcome to America. A gay America. Where homosexuals are no longer confined to a separate ghetto but are the new face of this great nation. A place where the queers are captains of industry, stars of stage and screen and political forces of nature. So why shouldn’t our patriotic imagery reflect that?

Next Magazine reinterprets the iconic looks of the red, white and blue.
