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 LGBTQIA+ people. Nebraska is home to numerous volunteer organizations working toward LGBTQIA+ 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 LGBTQIA+ people and families. In 2025, we invested in and showed up at 18 Pride events 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 LGBTQIA+ topics. In April 2021, we launched Nebraska Competes, a nonpartisan coalition of businesses that believe Nebraska needs nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQIA+ people. We have grown this coalition to 144 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 LGBTQIA+ equality forward in Nebraska.
