Pictures, pictures, pictures!

Some of the best things about Pride celebrations are all the happy-people pics that come from them. We have always enjoyed bringing you just a few of those pics in our Pride wrap up issue — this year included. In fact, the colorful, new cover is a photo snapped by our own Chris Allan at Sonoma Pride.

We have pics from Sonoma Pride, Davis Pride, Sac Pride, Outword’s Pride Happy Hour, and even a couple from Fresno Pride. They are scattered throughout the issue so grab one and take a few minutes to look it over and see some happy people and some interesting articles.

We have also included a couple of business items: Biden’s latest executive order, inclusion acceptance by business owners, and some more information about Monkeypox and how to keep yourself safe from that, as well as the Vid.

Our Arts & Entertainment Editor, Chris Narloch, has once again outdone himself with a plethora of LGBTQ+ slanted entertainment options, and be sure to check out Ryan Gosling as Barbie’s Ken..!

This issue also includes the latest “Out & About” column by Matt Burlingame and a touching coming out story by John.

This content list only scratches the surface. There is so, so, so much more inside this #3 Pride issue of Outword. Read, enjoy, and be proud of our queer community’s accomplishments.
