Charlene Cothran

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charlene E. Cothran is the publisher of the magazines Venus and Kitchen Table News.

Cothran founded Venus in 1995 in Atlanta, Georgia. Cothran, a former lesbian and gay rights activist, tailored Venus to the interests of LGBT people of African descent, especially African-American lesbians.

Following a Christian religious conversion in 2006, Cothran changed the editorial policy of Venus, and began to promote an ex-gay lifestyle through the magazine. Cothran claims that her target audience remains the same.

Charlene Cothran and Venus Magazine are not connected with the similarly-named magazine, Venuszine.
