Welcome Back, to The Chicks!
There are few groups, of any kind, that have taken the brunt of the right-wing spin machine, and survived it, like The Chicks (formerly known as The Dixie Chicks). Their whole world changed because of one, simple First Amendment-authorized comment that was made onstage while performing in Europe. The right pounced! They were eager to give their base something to hate, a common goal to divert attention away from the failing president. Sound familiar? Well this was almost 20 years ago, and while the playing field was comprised of different players, but we were certainly forewarned about things to come. Fortunately, the women of The Chicks emerged from this attack stronger, more aware and more creative than ever. To this day they are a force to be reckoned with politically and musically, and all the while a creative team that isn’t afraid to sing the truth. That is why they grace (beautifully) the cover of our newest issue. Check out what they are up to on page 16.
Welcome to our Annual Best Of issue, C19 Style
Over the years a lot of our questions have been about things to do and places to go. Now with stay at home orders, we tried to bring out some of the good that those orders have done, and what was, maybe, accomplished by having some time just mulling around the homestead. We also send out a big shout out to everyone that took a few minutes to lend their voice to this survey. It is always good to hear from you! You can read the results on pages 14 and 15.
Our Annual Wheels and Tech Issue is Out Now!
Let’s be clear. Not all of us in the LGBTQ+ community can be fabulous. Some of us are fabulous AND nerdy. And this is the Outword issue for you! Welcome to our annual Wheels and Tech issue! With this issue we try to touch on nerdy (in a good way) things that might interest some of us, who just happen to be LGBTQ+. Cars, computer gear, audio equipment, SUVs and even classic automobiles. This issue has it all!
Front Street Animal Shelter advises pet preparedness for July 4 holiday, updates services during COVID-19 pandemic
The weeks surrounding the Fourth of July are some of the busiest for shelters nationwide as many pets attempt to escape the frightening sounds of both legal and illegal fireworks. With firework stands popping up throughout Sacramento, the Front Street Animal Shelter is encouraging owners to take preventative actions to ensure their pets stay at home where they belong.
Happy Pride Month Sacramento (and everywhere else)!
In some ways this month has flown by for us, and in other ways, quite the opposite. As far as Outword’s production schedule – flown. This is already our third Pride Month issue, but it seems like only a couple of days ago, we changed our production plans from just one Pride issue, to three. This issue’s Pride theme is “Stonewall.” But, like all things 2020, and almost all issues of Outword, this issue took on wonderful life of its own. It did not become so much a history book lesson, as a reflection of some people, in and around our community, that acknowledge the history and the hard work it has taken to get LGBTQ people to where we are today.
