25-WORD DESCRIPTION:
We celebrate, educate, and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community to make Nebraska a more equitable place for all.
A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
OutNebraska launched as a statewide organization in 2019. In the years since, we have helped our communities grow in their advocacy, celebrations, and education of LGBTQ+ people.
Nebraska is home to numerous volunteer organizations working toward LGBTQ+ equality. As a staffed, statewide organization, OutNebraska is uniquely positioned to bring these different groups together. Through advocacy, celebration, and education, we have helped organizations and individuals across the state access resources and push for change. We make it our business to know who is in the room, who wants to be involved, and what other community partners share our vision for equality. That’s where OutNebraska has really thrived: as a hub of information, resources, and connections.
From the panhandle to the Missouri River, OutNebraska has worked for LGBTQ+ people and families. In 2024, we invested and participated in 12 prides across the state, organized hundreds of people to engage in the legislative process, and expanded our education programs connecting new organizations, community groups, and students with information on LGBTQ+ topics.
In April 2021, we launched Nebraska Competes, which is a nonpartisan coalition of businesses that believe Nebraska needs nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people. We have grown this coalition to 142 businesses that are located across the state, showing that Nebraska is ready to move to greater acceptance and inclusion.
We are proud of the work we are supporting across the state and will continue our efforts to push LGBTQ+ equality forward in Nebraska.
