Out in the Open
Connecting rural LGBTQ people
to build community, visibility, knowledge, and power. |
Founded in 2012 as Green Mountain Crossroads, Brattleboro Vermont-based Out in the Open has hosted over 1,000 events, peer-led groups, forums and rallies, and collaborated with dozens of organizations, community groups and schools to help people learn about rural LGBTQ communities and push for institutional and systemic change.
We envision a resilient community of communities that works toward the transformation of our economic, social, and political relationships. We are building a multi-issue social justice movement of rural LGBTQ people. Learn more about us here... |

Rural LGBTQ folks deserve a place to learn, heal, find joy, and seek pleasure. Queer, trans, gay, lesbian, and bisexual folks are leaders, facilitators, teachers, and keepers-of-wisdom. We need a place to celebrate these gifts and share them with each other.
|
Our survival can depend upon finding support and a safe place to be. In a hostile and even violent political climate, LGBTQ folks continue to fight against attempts to erase us, oppress us, and take back hard-won critical rights.
