Home, Hearth, & Hooch
Just Out marches into spring with your guide to the good life, whether you’re outside and in
 

Forget spring cleaning, we’re spring dreaming of home, garden, and entertaining.

Chalk it up to unseasonably pleasant days, call it cabin fever—we’re positively stir crazy for spring. As thoughts turn to fragrant blooms and steady sunlight and patio weather, we can’t wait to welcome—or at least prepare—for the season officially beginning March 20. Cue Just Out’s spring guide to home, garden and entertaining—affectionately referred to around the office as the “Home, Hearth and Hooch” issue. As you can see, the name stuck.

We chat with design stars Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams on how to make your interiors both serene and stylish, and our resident “Sassy Gardener” LeAnn Locher offers inspiration for taking the party outdoors. Since the eye isn’t the only palate worth pleasing, we offer a crash course in socializing with wine—and catch up with local design guy-turned-confectionist Ken Hoyt. For those who really want to get out of the house and into something beautiful, we tour the grounds of bucolic Ainsworth House. And then there are the chickens—oh, how we Portlanders love our chickens.

Episcopal Church Set to Appoint First Openly Lesbian Bishop
 

Episcopal Reverend Mary Glasspool has received enough approvals from her denomination to become the Church's first openly lesbian bishop.

The Episcopal News reports:

"The Los Angeles Standing Committee reported March 10 that within the last 64 days it has received 61 consents needed to the election of Glasspool... In each election a majority of 56 consents was needed from the counterpart Standing Committees of the 110 dioceses of the Episcopal Church. The consent process to Glasspool’s election is not complete until the Presiding Bishop’s Office in New York confirms that it has received the necessary majority of consents from bishops with jurisdiction in the dioceses of the Church. Meanwhile, the Presiding Bishop’s Office has notified the Los Angeles Standing Committee that 58 of the 61 Standing Committee consents received have been verified to date."

The Reverend Glasspool's election to bishop in December has been in limbo for the last three months as part of a routine consent process. She will join New Hampshire bishop Gene Robinson as the worldwide Anglican communion's only openly-gay members of the bishopric.
