OUR MISSION ::

SpeakOUT works to create a world free of homo-bi-trans-phobia and other forms of prejudice by telling the truths of people’s lives.

We do so by:

conducting educational programs about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender lives and issues;

training individuals and organizations to use public speaking as a means of creating positive cultural change;

sharing our lives and experiences publicly in order to support those struggling with sexuality and gender identity; and

educating within the communities we represent about issues that divide us.

We engage audiences in honest dialogue, and in keeping with our motto "Ask Us Anything," invite any questions that may challenge harmful stereotypes and misconceptions.
