OutRight Action International

Outright International works together for better LGBTIQ lives. We envision a world where LGBTIQ people everywhere can enjoy full human rights and fundamental freedoms, exercise self-determination, form strong communities, and thrive personally and economically. We fight for the rights of LGBTIQ people everywhere - at global, regional, and local levels - especially in areas where we experience the most resistance and persecution.
Outright is the longest-operating U.S.-based international LGBTIQ human rights organization and has existed for more than 3 decades We were the first U.S.-based LGBTIQ organization holding consultative status within the United Nations Economic and Social Council, which means that we get to participate and speak to the United Nations directly; and we are a co-founder and act as administrative Secretariat of the UN LGBTI Core Group: a coalition of 44 United Nations Member States dedicated to advancing equality and ensuring human rights of LGBTIQ people within that system and around the world.
Outright is also a Founding Member of the Partnership for Global LGBTI Equality – or PGLE - which is a World Economic Forum Lighthouse Project consisting of a coalition of businesses committed to leveraging their individual and collective advocacy to accelerate LGBTI equality and inclusion globally.
