Instead of one super-huge issue, we will spread LGBTQ+ Pride out over three consecutive issues! This first issue we are calling “Heroes and Icons.” The next two will be “Activism” and “The Stonewall Issue – Outword’s Pride Yearbook.”

Starting with this issue we will also be revisiting the LGBTQ+ timeline that we ran in 2002. That timeline, that Kate Moore compiled for us, is still so relevant and a great reminder of where we have come from. Look for those four pages in this issue, starting on page 20. In the next two issues, we will be adding to that timeline with things that have happened since 2002.

However, as you might have guessed, there is so much more to this issue than just a timeline. Look for “Stonewall Foundation,””Legends of Courage,” “…Together with Pride,” “The Locher Room Reunites…” and some suggestions about picking a good Rose, and plenty more!

Plus Chris Narloch has come through with some very Pride entertainment stuff, with some queer films, queer books and more.

So click on through to read all this new issue has to offer (it’s a lot!) and we hope that you are staying safe and healthy and are revved and ready for Pride.
