Out + About tells WRTV its 'Say Gay Beach Day' is a direct response to the Parental Rights in Education bill that passed in Florida earlier this year, which has been dubbed the 'Don't Say Gay' bill.
INDIANAPOLIS — Out + About, a new LGBTQ events organization in Indianapolis, is hosting a"Say Gay Beach Day" as it kicks off a series of monthly programs for the local queer community and its allies.
Due to the displacement and surging anti-LGBTQ rhetoric online, Out + About has partnered with Trinity Haven, a residential program for LGBTQ youth who are experiencing homelessness. All of the proceeds from a raffle at Say Gay Beach Day will be donated to Trinity Haven. Sloane has pursued many passions in their life thus far, including modeling, building movie sets, corporate marketing, retail, and fashion, but they say nothing has made them more excited than the idea of Out + About.
"There's no middleman events between like these small wine clubs, or biking clubs, or climbing clubs, and the huge events like Pride. So, I kind of wanted to be more of like a middleman between that," Sloane said."I wanted to create events that were at least once a month, where people could safely socialize, but in an intentional way, as well."
