Transgender Nebraskans are our friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors. Like every Nebraskan, transgender Nebraskans deserve equal treatment, respect, and protection from harm.
We invite you to take action and show your support for transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming Nebraskans across our state. In OutNebraska fashion, we ask you to advocate, celebrate, and educate!
Advocate
Using our voices to help transgender Nebraskans is important. Speak out when you hear or see something unjust.
See what bills are impacting trans and other LGBTQ+ Nebraskans this year.
Write to our Nebraska senators and urge them to pass the Equality Act for federal LGBTQ+ protections! The Equality Act specifically protects transgender people and transgender youth.
Sign up to volunteer with OutNebraska, and share your time and talents.
Celebrate
Celebrating transgender people all year round helps others learn about trans people and celebrates trans people as beloved friends, neighbors, and leaders. Many people do not realize they know a trans person or that they know people who support the trans community. You can be the person to uplift trans celebration into their lives.
