THE STORY ELEMENT is described by The Wall Street Journal as Asia s first gay men s high-fashion and lifestyle journal. It is the essential onestop read covering men s fashion, entertainment, sex & relationship, fitness, LGBT community current affairs and more. Element is Asia s leading LGBT network.

Since its launch in March 2013, ELEMENT has received overwhelming support from LGBT friends and supporters all around the world, including A-list celebrities such as Lady GAGA and top Mandopop diva Zhang Hui Mei (A Mei). For the latter, our Rainbow issue was her first-ever gay press exclusive cover shoot and interview.
