It's been a while, my friends. We have a new home at OutNebraska and look forward to seeing old friends and new faces!

OWLISH has a new home!

After months of soul-searching and paperwork, Owlish has moved to OutNebraska and I could not be more thrilled!

There has never been a more important time to advocate for our older LGBTQ+ adults and becoming a part of OutNebraska will allow us to advocate more effectively, broaden our reach throughout the state, and have fantastic support as we work to create equity and joy in the lives of our aging community.

I have moved with Owlish to OutNebraska as the Director of Programs and Operations so that I can continue to work on our mission of aging with equity. I look forward to seeing you at our future events and I encourage everyone to follow OutNebraska for updates on what is happening in our state!

Thank you to everyone who has been a huge part of our success and I will see you soon!

Yours in solidarity and purpose,
Sarah Phelps

“When we have a life that has a lot of meaning and purpose, it’s often quite uncomfortable”

How to get through those days when your professional and personal lives won’t quit.

* DHS terror advisory warns of violent extremist terror threats to the LGBTQ+ community.
* Vladimir Putin signs law banning public expression of LGBTQ+ identity.
* Nearly every state in the US has considered or passed legislation banning transgender youth from athletics.
* 238 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced in 2022.
* 67 countries have laws criminalizing same-sex relations between adults.

LGBTQ+ folks are exhausted, angry, and afraid. There are no spaces that feel completely safe anymore. They have to be on alert all the time.

This holiday season, put your money where your values are. Find a local LGBTQ+ non-profit doing the work of advocating for and educating about LGBTQ+ life and donate.

We're in this together. Every human deserves safety, opportunity, and love. Donate today.

Thank you all for a wonderful 2022!

And thank you to the Senate for passing the Respect for Marriage Act. It's a start and a much-needed piece of good news for the LGBTQ+ community.
