About Out �鶹��ý����

 is a non-profit organization that was created to raise awareness and provide support and solidarity for the LGBTQIA+ community of �鶹��ý���� and surrounding areas. Their mission is building community for people who are marginalized, to create safe spaces so no one feels alone, recognizing how the LGBTQIA+ are targeted for violence and to build capacity through knowledge, resources and in-person advocacy.

In 2022, Out �鶹��ý���� hosted the city of �鶹��ý����’s very first Pride Festival, drawing unprecedented support from over 18,000 community members and securing sponsorship from hundreds of local vendors, including �鶹��ý����. Since then, attendance has continued to grow each year. In 2025, the festival welcomed more than 30,000 participants—and we’re expecting another incredible turnout this year!
