Celebrating LGBTQA Diversity
and Dances of the Human Spirit.
Welcome to the
November/December issue (left).
In this issue Rhonda Brown talks with Rick Winningham about life and work in Ocean Shores and as we head into our primary elections, we look a little further into our local candidates. Teddy MacQuarrie examines the intersection of religion and politics in his piece Faith and Good Governance in Ocean Shores with a focus on Mayoral incumbent Jon Martin and his challenger Frank Elduen. We also look at the campaign contributions of local candidates and Gina McCauley shares our Ocean Shores The Candidates & The Gays private candidate forum. Ocean Shores Gay Bingo makes a big move, real estate broker John Dirgo Dewees offers his comprehensive Real Estate Market Update, the 2023 Furvana Convention invades Ocean Shores, and more from Gary Douglas Lennon, David Done Clark and our resident Drag Queen columnist Tru Saint James.
A couple months ago I had the opportunity and privilege of acquiring SGN (Seattle Gay News), a 49-year-old print and online legacy LGBTQA publication of the Pacific Northwest. It’s been a significant undertaking, and the heavy lifting of transition and revamp continues. I’m taking a winter break from Coastal Pride but look to resume this publication with the March-April issue. In the interim, SGN has expanded its biweekly distribution points state-wide and now includes our local Ocean Shores Public Library, At The Beach Rentals, and Beach Tyme Quilts. SGN’s press release can be found in this issue on page 30. More on SGN can be found online at: www.sgn.org.
Thank you for taking a look and
