5:00–9:30 p.m.
The UO Women's Center and LGBT Education and Support Services proudly presents the 27th annual OUT / LOUD Queer and Trans Performance Fest!
OUT / LOUD is a safer space for those in the 2SLGBTQ+ community to come together in radical joy and solidarity. This event centers 2SLGBTQ+ individuals and offers a space where queer joy and radical community takes precedence over anything else. From its origins as a lesbian musical festival, OUT / LOUD has evolved to reflect various themes that seek to pay homage to Eugene's queer history, strengthen relationships within our present community, and empower future generations of 2SLGBTQ+ individuals.
As we get closer to the 2027 date, we will update this listing with more detailed information.
If you have questions regarding OUT / LOUD or need accommodations, please reach out to: UO Women's Center's Program Director, Sarah Doty at info@uoregon.College
Join us in our celebration of 2SLGBTQ+ identity, story, and legacy! Free admission and open to the community.

Navigate Campus
We are committed to creating an equitable and accessible environment for students, whether that be via all-gender and gender-expansive housing options, name change processes, or all-gender restrooms.
Connect with Resources
Resources for 2SLGBTQIA3+ students encourage holistic well-being and academic success through mental, medical, and community care. Scholarships and other financial assistance are based on need and/or merit. Students are also invited to apply for LGBTESS-sponsored conferences. In addition to our programs and services, there are off-campus organizations dedicated to advocating and resourcing 2SLGBTQIA3+ folks.
Build Community
Our student-driven outreach teams celebrate, educate, empower, and support 2SLGBTQIA3+ students. Whether organizing events, developing new initiatives, or collaborating with campus organizations, one of the priorities of the LGBTESS staff is to support students in fostering community.
Support 2SLGBTQIA3+ Students
Effectively supporting 2SLGBTQIA3+ students is an on-going process which requires self-awareness, knowledge, and skills. LGBTESS hosts Queer+ Accomplice Coalition (QAC) training once a term to jump-start faculty and staff in this process and provides resources to support continued learning and advocacy practices.
