LGBTQIA+Allies in Glendale, California
glendaleOUT is a grass-roots organization dedicated to building, evolving, and moving forward queer voice in the narrative that is Glendale.
People who foment hate and violence in schools are not “concerned parents,” and the ones in Glendale claiming this have engaged in years-long actions that have compromised the safety, well being, and emotional health of GUSD students.
The glendaleOUT community, in conjunction with educators and parents, introduces PROJECT:PRO+ECT. This is a joint community effort to engage in actions that convey to queer and questioning GUSD students they live in a city that sees them, accepts them, respects their journey, and will fight for their place at the table in Glendale and La Crescenta.
This past year glendaleOUT circulated questionnaires to GSA clubs, and we asked three simple questions. Converting the answers to these questions into actions is our sole future focus.What is life like for you as a young, queer person in Glendale/La Crescenta?What can we do to help make this community better for queer youth with regards to safety?What can we do to help make this community better for queer youth with regards to FUN?! People who have and will continue to spew hate into the queer narrative can not be the only voice our queer/questioning LGBTQIA+ students hear. We invite everyone in the community to join us and work with us in love, in healing, and in creating safe space for our kids to thrive.Want to offer your space/ energy/ effort to one of these actions? Contact us, we'll make it happen together.

Adriana was a trans woman murdered in her apartment which was then set on fire in Yerevan, Armenia.
Lauri Carleton was an ally murdered for displaying a Pride flag at her store in Lake Arrowhead, California
Communities are being whipped into an anti-queer frenzy by people who use the rhetoric of hate for gain and profit. glendaleOUT and GUSD Parents for Public Schools have distributed over 70 of the hundred flags we are offering for FREE to any community member, organization, or business that would like to display it in memory of these women, and in support of healthy, inclusive, tolerant communities for all. glendaleOUT@gmail.com
We will always be here, we will always be queer. Get used to it.
