In case you somehow missed the memo, we’re celebrating a pretty big milestone here at Instinct this November—our 15th anniversary!! Yes, 15 years of gorgeous—and gay!!—cover guys, countless blind dates and some outrageous Soapbox speakers! Since it began in May 2004, the Soapbox feature quickly became a favorite for readers, and we continue to strive and bring you interesting and expressive celebs and public figures today to keep our back page fresh, fierce and often pretty funny. So to celebrate Instinct’s big 1-5, we’re republishing some of the Soapboxes you’ve told us you love best, all throughout November!

Today’s Soapbox takes us back to 2010, when the one and only RuPaul werked her magic on our box.

Isn't this a beautiful image? Sure, it may not be shirtless Kellan Lutz or our beloved Jakey-poo, but a graph depicting the new poll numbers out today finding 50% of Californians supporting marriage equality -- the highest number yet in the state -- is just as beautiful.

We're almost there, darlings, but there is still much work to do...
