LivingOUT was a biweekly newspaper published by LivingOUT Media Group in Minnesota from June, 2004 through June, 2005. The publication reported on local and national news events with an intended market of LGBT Families.
The first issue (Volume 01, No. 1) was published on June 2, 2004, and distributed throughout the Twin Cites of Minneapolis and St. Paul including their surrounding suburbs. The first headline was "Repercussions of Same-Sex Marriage In Massachusetts", written by David J. Rust. The publisher, Donna M. Gimbut, was credited with the title "editor," with Charles Hughes as Content Manager. Staff writers were David J. Rust and Rebecca Boever. Contributing writers were Emilie Carter, Charles Hughes, Liz Schulze, Charles Taylor, and Christopher Title.[citation needed]
The paper initially had two separate sections: its main news portion and its second portion, "OUT in the Metro," covering travel, entertainment, and local color. On April 6th, 2005 (issue #22), "OUT in the Metro" was combined with the rest of the paper, maintaining the same number of pages, but requiring only a single printing.[citation needed]
Gimbut was also the owner of 3 Dollar Bill, which published The Source GLBT Community Directory, a gay and lesbian yellow pages. 3 Dollar Bill was a separate company although some employees worked for both it and LivingOUT Media Group.
