Schools OUT

The LGBT+ education charity #educatingOUTprejudice and #Usuallising LGBT+ lives since November

We believe that every LGBT+ person should feel protected, seen and thrive in awareness and beyond. Through education and advocacy we empower people in all learning settings to build environments where all LGBT+ people feel safe, seen, and supported.

Don't be afraid of the world, but always research information specific to your travels. Enjoy Pride, be vigilant, and look out for each other!
