I'm not going to lie, I was initially quite disappointed by what I had been sent. Shouldn't they have a preference box that we could fill in? But as I began reading, I soon found myself enjoying the pieces that were inside. And did I mention there were NO ADVERTS. Do you know how special that is? 

Reading articles from someone with an entirely different perspective to mine was refreshing. I was thinking about problems that I had never even considered before, like asking a stranger to take a picture of you as a gay couple (harder than it may seem). As I got further into the magazine, I found myself preferring it far more than the usual choice at the newsagents. And that's when I realised that that is what Stack was all about. Giving us something we wouldn't normally pick up and presenting the chance to explore new and diverse topics. What can I say? Don't judge a magazine by it's cover.
