It covers news, politics, social issues, and includes celebrity interviews and stories on entertainment, pop culture, style, travel, and a website that hosts an internet forum focusing on lesbian issues, active since 2000. History and profileFounded by Frances "Franco" Stevens in San Francisco in 1990, Curve was first published as Deneuve but was renamed in 1996 after a trademark dispute with French actress Catherine Deneuve.[1] Diane Anderson-Minshall was editor-in-chief when the magazine was acquired by Avalon Media in 2010.[2][3] Merryn Johns became editor-in-chief with the change in ownership.[2][3] Curve is headquartered in San Francisco.[4] The publication reports its circulation at 52,237, and a 182,831 readership with a median household income of $85,372.[5]It was featured on the Showtime television series The L Word when a fictional writer for the magazine interviews Jenny Schecter, one of the characters, about her book.{{Citation needed|date=January 2019}} ControversyIn May 2007, actress Michelle Rodriguez criticized Curve and accused its editors of attempting to "out" her. Rodriguez stated, "As far as rumors go of me coming out, I guess Curve magazine took it upon themselves to out me on the premise of their own suspicions.... to put words in someone's mouth and place people in categories affects them for sure, especially in this business."[6] Her comments ended up angering many in the gay community and some even accused her of being homophobic.{{Citation needed|date=January 2019}} Rodriguez has denied those claims as well.{{Citation needed|date=January 2019}} In the July/August 2007 issue of Curve, editors responded to this criticism by stating: "If you read the article, you will see that the author did not, in fact, 'out' Rodriguez; rather, the article stated both that "Rodriguez has never publicly come out" and "Rodriguez has said she is not a lesbian."{{Citation needed|date=January 2019}} See also
