MORE INFO: NWFILM.ORG (Q CENTER) Hero: Just Out Just Out and the publication's first three publishers have been selected as one of the Queer Heroes NW. The Q Center's Queer Heroes NW project gathered nominations on their website and on Facebook and then tediously wittled the list to 30 of the region's top lead- ers, influencers, givers and organizations. The project is a collaboration between the Center and the Gay and Lesbian Archives of the Pacific NW (GLAPN). The Q Center revealed one hero a day during June and featured a large display of the He- roes at Portland's pride festival. The Heroes display is expected to travel around the state during the next months. Renee Lachance and Jay brown founded Just Out in 1983. Years later Marty Davis pur- chased the newsmagazine and published Just Out until 2011. "When Renee LaChance and Jay Brown founded Just Out in 1983, they wanted to create a newspaper that covered all aspects of the queer community with integrity and good writ- ing. Just Out became a main source of information about the queer community. It was especially important to people who were new to Oregon or who had recently discovered they were gay," the award reads. (See photo below) Other heroes include: Charlie Hinkle, Jenn Burleton, Darcelle XV and Sally Cohn. See all of the honorees at glapn.org v PORTLAND FRONTRUNNERS IS CELEBRATING THEIR 10TH ANNIVERSARY.

SENT IT ALL TO: EDITOR@JUSTOUT.COM (HAPPENINGS) Open Mic 22 JustOut.com "The people who have attended and performed and supported this event are community and ritual and hot date night, all in one." Dirty Queer's press re- lease said. Horace Long Q HEROES NW "Just Out's found- ing publishers broke new ground when they looked for advertisers outside of the gay com- munity – some- thing previous gay newspapers had not done. But it worked, and Just Out proved to its advertisers that readers did indeed support the businesses that advertized with the paper." Dirty Queer, the local monthly x-rated open mic for over a half-a-decade, is about to slow down a bit. Beginning this month the Dirty Queer format will be quarterly, rather than monthly. It will hap- pen at the same time and place (2nd Friday of the month, In Other Words), but only during the fol- lowing 4 months: October, January (the 6th anni- versary!), April and July.
