With a fist full of credit cards, a lucky run at the horse track, and chutzpah for days, Franco Stevens launched Curve, the best-selling lesbian magazine ever published. AHEAD OF THE CURVE tracks the power of lesbian visibility and community from the early '90s to the present day through the story of Franco's founding of Curve magazine. Decades later, in the wake of a disabling injury, Franco learns that Curve will fold within the year and questions the relevance of the magazine in the face of accelerating threats to LGBTQ community. To forge a path forward, Franco reaches out to women working in today's queer spaces to understand what queer women need today and how Curve can continue to serve the community. 　　译文(2): 弗兰科 · 史蒂文斯(Franco Stevens)手里拿着满满一拳的信用卡，在赛马场上幸运地跑了一圈，还厚颜无耻地坚持了好几天，创办了有史以来最畅销的女同性恋杂志《 Curve 》。《领先于曲线》通过弗兰科创办《曲线》杂志的故事，追踪了从90年代初到今天女同性恋的知名度和社区影响力。几十年后，在一次致残性的受伤之后，弗兰科了解到“曲线”杂志将在一年内倒闭，并质疑该杂志在面对 LGBTQ 社区日益加剧的威胁时的相关性。为了找到一条前进的道路，弗兰科与在当今同性恋领域工作的女性接触，以了解当今同性恋女性需要什么，曲线如何能够继续为社区服务。
