The new owners of OUT Magazine and The Advocate, two major LGBTI publications, allegedly donated money to anti-gay politicians. Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) reports that step brothers Adam Levin and Maxx Abramowitz bought the two publications, under the umbrella of PRIDE Media, back in September. The brothers are the founders of Oreva Capital, a private equity firm, as well.
In addition to PRIDE Media, Levin and Abramowitz are also, respectively, the CEO and lead investor of the High Times Magazine parent company, High Times Holdings.
WWD found that Levin has donated money to numerous Republican politicians with anti-LGBTI agendas. For instance, supporting religiously-based discrimination. These politicians include Devin Nunes, Dean Heller, and Josh Mandel. Additionally, the brothers support Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican lawmaker who earlier this year said it’s okay for realtors to refuse selling homes to gay people. High Times Magazine praised Rohrabacher on this year’s list of cannabis supporters.
