SpeakOUT is a community of speakers working to create a world free of homo-bi-transphobia and other forms of prejudice by telling the truths of our lives. We do so by conducting educational programs about LGBTQIA* lives & issues; training individuals & organizations to use public speaking as a means of creating positive cultural change; sharing our lives & experiences in order to support those struggling with sexuality & gender identity; and educating about issues that divide us.
