The magazine has run pieces that allege a connection between BDSM sex and Christianity, positively portrayed an organization that distributes LGBT books to kindergartners, and promoted a group that pairs children with LGBT "mentors" without notifying their parents.
Another article in the June 2022 Pride Month issue of Lavender states, "I have been thinking about younger queer kids." The piece, also by Krug, details the author's experience as a transgender woman mentoring "queer" middle and high school students on gender and sexuality through a local school district. Krug called the activities "holy work."
