On Sunday, June 16th, Alex Hughes, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Hughes Brand Group, officially unveiled the publishing house’s latest venture: So.Gay magazine. The much-anticipated launch event was held at the Grayson Hotel’s rooftop, where partygoers gathered at the newly opened Bar Cima, a locale quickly becoming famed for its stunning views of New York City’s skyline.
