Join SpeakOUT Boston for our annual Appreciation Night event at Club Café in Boston. Pride month is always an important time in our community and we want to wrap up this month on a high note. On June 29 we will be honoring the volunteer speakers who have been involved with us for 20+ years with the Voice for Change awards as well as thanking all of our current speakers. We’ll also be announcing our six LGBTQ+ student scholarships. And we’ll have an uplifting performance by the Golden Drag King from our very own Quyen Tran. Come out to support one of the oldest LGBTQ+ organizations in Boston on this special occasion!

SpeakOUT was part of a great discussion in Westwood recently to help the community find ways to be a more inclusive and safe environment for LGBTQ+ people and others.
