Will You ​Help
Create Rural LGBTQ Community Space?

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.

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.
Since we first began as Green Mountain Crossroads in 2012, Out in the Open has hosted over 1,000 events, peer-led groups, forums and rallies. We've collaborated with dozens of organizations and schools to help people learn about our community and push for institutional and systemic change.
The next step is to create a place in Southern Vermont for rural LGBTQ folks from all areas to call home...
