Help Amplify LGBTQ+ Voices With Your Support

SpeakOUT has been telling personal stories to open minds and change attitudes about LGBTQ+ people for over 50 years. That’s a lot of stories! That’s hundreds of speakers and tens of thousands of people we’ve touched with our face-to-face speaking engagements. Huge social transformation has happened for our community since 1972, and we are proud to have made our contribution to those advances.

As the oldest LGBTQ+ speakers bureau in the U.S., we are loud (but not too loud) and proud to tell our personal stories wherever we are invited. Your gift to SpeakOUT strengthens our community education through storytelling and dialogue, and helps to create safer spaces in schools, colleges, workplaces, communities of faith and more for LGBTQ+ people.

If you are a business or organization that wants to support the work of a grassroots LGBTQ+ nonprofit, consider becoming a Sponsor by contacting our Executive Director, Ellyn Ruthstrom. Your support helps SpeakOUT to continue to amplify LGBTQ+ voices during this challenging political environment for our community.
