History
editIn 2017 Picardi, then the director of Teen Vogue, proposed to Anna Wintour, Condé Nast's artistic director, that the company create an online, LGBT-focused media platform.[6] Founding editors included Meredith Talusan, Tyler Ford, and James Clarizio,[2][7] and launch partners included Burberry, Google, Lyft, and GLAAD.[8][9]
Upon the website's launch, there was some controversy over its naming, which some considered to be "othering".[10] The name is derived from the singular them pronoun,[11] emphasizing a gender neutral approach including in its fashion coverage.[12][13]
Picardi left Them and Condé Nast in the fall of 2018 to begin working as editor-in-chief of Out magazine.[14][15] Whembley Sewell was named the new executive editor in 2019.[15][16] In October 2021, Sarah Burke became the new editor-in-chief of Them.[16][17]
In 2020, Them hosted two virtual Pride Month events, Themfest and Out Now Live.[18][19] Out Now Live, its June 2020 virtual gay pride event, included speeches, LGBT history and musical performances.[4][20] It was produced in collaboration with Pitchfork.[19][20]
