Affinity Inc Magazine

Innovative. Successful. Loyal.

Affinity Inc Magazine is the leading Multicultural and LGBTQ+ business diversity publication in the United States. Founded in 2013, we have spent over a decade chronicling the triumphs, challenges, and achievements of the LGBTQ+ business community — from certified LGBTQ+ Business Enterprises to corporate diversity champions and community advocates.

Our mission is to provide visibility, access, and opportunity to the LGBTQ+ business community. We serve LGBTQ+ suppliers, entrepreneurs, diversity professionals, corporate leaders, and allies who are committed to building a more equitable economy.

Affinity Inc Magazine covers the full spectrum of LGBTQ+ business equality — from supplier diversity and corporate inclusion to government policy, nonprofit leadership, and community events. We are the trusted voice for those seeking access to opportunity and information within the supply chains of corporate America, public sector entities, and global markets.

Our History

Affinity Inc Magazine was founded in 2013 by Don McKneely, a pioneer in LGBTQ+ business diversity. Over the past decade, the magazine has grown from a regional publication to a nationally recognized platform reaching thousands of LGBTQ+ business owners, corporate diversity professionals, and community leaders across the country.

In 2024, the magazine entered a new chapter under the leadership of new publisher DeVere Kutscher, who brings a fresh vision and strategic direction to continue the publication's legacy of excellence and advocacy.
