The New Issue of Outword Is Out — and We’re 31!

Yep, somehow, we’ve been doing this for 31 years — and issue No. 799 proves we still know how to have a little fun.

Our fabulous cover star Kevin Aviance is headed to Sacramento’s Rainbow Festival, where Retro Rainbow turns back the beat with Klymaxx, the Original Mary Jane Girls and plenty of reasons to dig out those questionable ’80s fashion choices.

Inside, we celebrate 31 years of Outword and the people who have kept us going; catch up with LGBTQ+ swimmers making waves at the U.S. Masters Summer Nationals; and celebrate NorCal AIDS Cycle turning months of pedaling into $160,000 for local organizations.

There’s also Sam Smith feeling a little country, theater and movie picks, plenty of Out & About, and a Vodka Press waiting for you in Activating Taste Buds — because after 31 years, we think we’ve earned a cocktail.

Grab your tablet, pour yourself something bubbly and enjoy the new issue of Outword. We’re still here — and we’re very glad you are, too.
