OUTspoken For Equality is a group of socially conscious and politically minded individuals who seek to spread awareness regarding issues that affect the LGBT community. They aim to affect change in local, state, and federal governments through networking, advocacy, lobbying, community outreach, and education. The group formed over the past few years, spearheaded by Western New York transplant Kitty Lambert, and has been instrumental in assisting to motivate our local LGBT communities to take action for themselves.

Buffalo has a large and diverse gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.
