==History==
glendaleOUT formed out of a 2019 multi-venue [Pride Month](/source/Pride_Month) event for [art](/source/art) created by [Glendale Unified School District](/source/Glendale_Unified_School_District) [students](/source/students).[{{cite web |url=https://www.latimes.com/socal/glendale-news-press/news/la-tn-gnp-me-glendale-pride-crescenta-valley-20190514-story.html|work=[Glendale News-Press](/source/Glendale_News-Press)|author=Andrew J. Campa|title=Several Glendale schools, students participate in Pride art showcase|date=May 14, 2019 |access-date=October 21, 2024}}] One of the organization's [founders](/source/Organizational_founder), local [artist](/source/artist) Grey James, later remarked, "[Silver Lake](/source/Silver_Lake%2C_Los_Angeles), [West Hollywood](/source/West_Hollywood%2C_California)... why do I have to export my gay? Why can't I be gay where I live? So, I set about doing that." An inaugural [LGBT Pride](/source/LGBT_Pride) event was planned to be held in Glendale's Central Park in 2020, before the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic) resulted in its cancellation.[{{cite web |url=https://thebluntpost.com/introducing-glendale-pride-glendales-first-ever-pride-celebration/|work=The Blunt Post|author=Vic Gerami|title=INTRODUCING GLENDALE PRIDE, GLENDALE'S FIRST EVER PRIDE CELEBRATION|date=February 19, 2020 |access-date=October 21, 2024}}]

Following [COVID-19](/source/COVID-19)-related issues in 2020 and 2021, the annual '''Glendale Pride in the Park''', a [family-friendly](/source/family-friendly) [picnic](/source/picnic) held in [Adams Hill](/source/Adams_Hill%2C_Glendale%2C_California), came to fruition in June 2022.[{{cite web |url=https://www.eglendalelac.org/pride-month-2022|title=Pride Month|access-date=October 21, 2024}}][{{cite web|url=https://www.eglendalelac.org/blog/art-spotlight-glendaleout|title=Spotlight on glendaleOUT|author=Jacqueline Hernandez|access-date=October 21, 2024|archive-date=December 27, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241227145210/https://www.eglendalelac.org/blog/art-spotlight-glendaleout|url-status=dead}}][{{cite web |url=https://www.losangelesblade.com/2024/05/31/southern-californias-lgbtq-2024-pride-events/|work=[Los Angeles Blade](/source/Los_Angeles_Blade)|title=Southern California's LGBTQ+ 2024 Pride events|date=May 31, 2024|access-date=October 23, 2024}}] [Glendale Library, Arts & Culture](/source/Glendale_Public_Library) joined the inaugural event as part of its effort to document the history of Glendale's LGBTQ community through audio and video [testimonies](/source/testimony).[{{cite web |url=https://outlooknewspapers.com/glendalenewspress/news/glendaleout-holds-pride-event/article_037061c3-5ea6-5c90-8816-7185591bf63b.html|work=[Glendale News-Press](/source/Glendale_News-Press)|title=GlendaleOUT Holds Pride Event|date=June 17, 2022 |access-date=March 21, 2025}}]

Following an anti-LGBT+ protest at the June 6, 2023 [Glendale Unified School District](/source/Glendale_Unified_School_District) [Board of Education](/source/Board_of_Education) meeting, glendaleOUT took on a more active role in addressing hate in local schools, noting that the protest and uptick in hateful rhetoric resulted fewer students participating in [gender-sexuality alliance](/source/Gay%E2%80%93straight_alliance) events.[{{cite web |url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/california-anti-trans-movement_n_6601f8aae4b0269c5d2cfbf7|work=[Huffington Post](/source/Huffington_Post)|title=The Anti-Trans Movement Is Coming For A Deep-Blue State|author=Lil Kalish|date=March 26, 2024|access-date=October 22, 2024}}]
