''OutWords'' is a Canadian magazine, published in Winnipeg, Manitoba for the city's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities. Launched in November 1994 as ''Swerve'' by a collective that included Carol Philipps, Stephen Lawson, Ian King, David McGunigal and Noreen Stevens,〔Kaj Hasselriis, ("Carol Philipps: 1965-2009" ). ''Xtra!'', March 16, 2009.〕 it published as funds were available until finally achieving a monthly circulation two years later. The name ''Swerve'' was chosen as a portmanteau of swish and nerve.〔"Editor helped start gay paper in Winnipeg". ''The Globe and Mail'', March 16, 2009.〕 A tabloid newsmagazine, it was distributed free of charge mostly in Winnipeg, with several points outside of Manitoba and in the northern United States. ''Swerve'' incorporated as a non-profit organization in June 2000, adopting a set of bylaws and electing a board of directors. The day-to-day operations are overseen by an editorial team who are paid a small honorarium for their work. The former executive director of Canada's national LGBT lobby group Egale, Gilles Marchildon, worked at ''Swerve'' for over four years and served as editor for three years. In 2005, the magazine became involved in a trademark dispute, when the ''Calgary Herald'' co-opted the name ''Swerve'' for a weekly entertainment supplement. Shortly after, the magazine was transformed from a tabloid into a book format under the guidance of its editor since 2001, Richard F.J. Wood. It also revised its mission statement and its tagline, which changed from "Winnipeg's monthly queer newsmagazine" to "One Community > Diverse Lives." Wood left as editor in April 2006. The trade-mark dispute was settled in August 2006. In January 2007, the magazine re-launched under the name ''OutWords'' with the tagline "Getting the word out since 1994." ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「OutWords」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
