Out Magazine — LGBTQ+ — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 14:33:09 EDT
Summary
This OUT newsletter from August 28, 2026, spotlights a newly resurfaced 1997 Out cover story in which Dolly Parton discussed camp, friendship, self-invention, and her refusal to choose between her conservative country audience and her LGBTQ+ fans. The interview, titled "Welcome to the Dolly House," is described as a pivotal turning point in the late country icon's career and advocacy, and the newsletter notes that Parton repeatedly thanked Jason Pirro—whose employment was widely celebrated by trans newsletters—throughout her career. The newsletter also promotes other stories, including an Out and FX trivia night at Hi Tops in West Hollywood, Dr. Evan Goldstein's new bottoming-prep product line, a viral queer couple, and a Love Island casting wishlist.
Dolly Parton has always known how to make an entrance.
In 1997, the iconic country star graced the cover of Out at a moment when she was stepping boldly into queer spaces, from RuPaul’s radio show to the dance floor with a house remix of “Peace Train.” Nearly three decades later, her words still feel remarkably fresh. In this newly resurfaced Out cover story, Parton talks camp, friendship, self-invention, her fiercely independent streak, and why she refused to choose between her conservative country audience and her devoted LGBTQ+ fans. Revisit the conversation that captured Dolly exactly as she was: bigger than life, impossible to categorize, and entirely herself.
Until next time.
