Dakota OutRight
Since 2004.
Dakota OutRight is a volunteer-run LGBTQIA2S+ organization based in Bismarck, North Dakota. For over 20 years we have been creating safe spaces for connection, support, and celebration in Central North Dakota.
Our progress-pride bison — stripes representing every identity in our community, Two-Spirit eagle feather, BIPOC stripes and all — is not just a logo. It is a declaration that every one of us belongs here.
