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.
PROJECT:PRO+ECT 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.
Glendale City Council, state candidates, every neighborhood has demonstrated anti-LGBTQIA+ messaging online and at board of education and city meetings. Our kids are listening. But love also exists in Glendale. This is what our events and actions endeavor to amplify.

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.
