What We Do

We believe in a Nebraska that embraces and celebrates the full spectrum of LGBTQIA2S+ people. Often, LGBTQIA2S+ Nebraskans experience discrimination, disparities, and isolation – particularly transgender people and people of color. OutNebraska is dedicated to empowering, celebrating, and growing LGBTQIA2S+ communities in Omaha and across the state of Nebraska. 

For more than 10 years we’ve been making an impact by advocating, celebrating, and educating to improve the lives of LGBTQ+ people.

  • We’re advocating for reform, connecting with local and state representatives, encouraging civic engagement, and making investments for the betterment of our communities.
  • We’re growing connections, lifting up our allies, and celebrating LGBTQ+ people through fun events like the Prairie Pride Film Festival.
  • We’re providing inclusivity training and engaging in community conversations to help ensure a welcoming and thriving environment for all.
