It will be a New Year before we know it. is month's feature interview is with "e Hound." e Hound is releasing his debut single, "Can't Let You Go," off his upcoming al- bum. "Can't Let You Go" is elec- tronic pop with a passionate, heart- felt message about the dangers of a toxic love. e Hound talks about his debut single, as well as other is- sues, such as bullying. It is a "don't miss" feature, for sure. October is one of those months that is special to the Queer community. National Coming Out Day is Oc- tober 11th. It is a very important day since it marks a time when folks take a stand for themselves, and pronounce who they truly are. It is a time to stand up and say, "I am special. I am who I am. I usually reprint my coming out story periodically as a bit of encour- agement to those thinking about coming out or who have recently done so. It is reprinted again in this issue on page 22, along with some coming out resources that might be helpful to those embark- ing on their new journey of self- discovery. October is also the month before Election Day! Election races will be gearing up soon. Although this year is an off-year where local elec- tions take precedence, it is still im- portant to get out and vote. Start to take our country back from the GOP, beginning with your local elections. Do not shirk your duty, no matter how boring you may feel the races are. Voting is POWER. Begin to exercise it... PLEASE. We all need you to vote to turn the page on this horrific nightmare we are enduring. See you next month! Diversity Rules Magazine PO Box 72 Oneonta, NY 13820 James R.
