Meet Mayor Pete

On our cover, you’ll find Pete Buttigieg and his husband, Chasten Glezman. Outword tried to secure an interview with the “gay mayor” from South Bend, IN, but he’s a little busy right now — running for president! Our own Chris Narloch weighs in on this historic campaign to see if Buttigieg lives up to all the hype. By the way, if you want to donate to Buttigieg’s campaign, or just get one of those cool “Boot Edge Edge” t-shirts, go to https://peteforamerica.com or click on the t-shirt in the electronic version of this issue and you will be linked to the proper page to purchase the shirt. (However, it looks as though there might be a bit of a backlog on the item, so be patient.)

While you are waiting on your cool, new shirt, you can finish paging through the magazine where you will find awesome stuff like: Big Day of Giving is coming soon, Drag Queen Bingo hits a huge milestone, the Stonewall Dems celebrate Stonewall’s 50th anniversary and Davis Pride is ramping up.

Matt brings us another “Out and About With Matt,” and Chris has his usual array of fun entertainment articles which include Avengers, sensitive songwriters, two sirens and “Dear Evan Hansen.”

I know we say this all the time, but this time we really, really mean it! Go grab an Outword and enjoy the heck out of it. And let’s all keep a watchful eye on the new guy running for president. He could be a keeper.
