OutInMaine To Launch Online Resource Guide & Social Calendar For Maine's LGBTQ+

BANGOR, Maine - Nov. 28, 2018 - PRLog -- OutInMaine LLC, an organization serving Maine's LGBTQ+ community and their allies through free online resources, announced the upcoming launch of a resource guide and social calendar for January 2019.

The OutInMaine website (OutInMaine.com) and social calendar aims to bring businesses and the LGBTQ+ community together by offering a place for organizations to list gay-inclusive events throughout the state of Maine. Beginning on November 28, 2018, organizations—including churches, schools, businesses, and other support and social groups—will be able to input their company information and future events for the calendar in preparation for the January 1^st launch to the public. The calendar is populated with these events so users can easily browse through upcoming events by date, category, location, and more. This service offers no and low cost advertising to organizations and is free to website visitors. For organizations interested in becoming a resource on OutInMaine's system, visit http://www.OutInMaine.com.

OutInMaine was founded by David Burke Jr., a gay disabled veteran, who returned home to Maine after 7 years serving in the U.S. Army and living 15 years on the west coast only to find a disconnected gay community. His solution was the OutInMaine website.

"I founded OutInMaine when I returned home from the west coast to settle down with my family and discovered there was no readily visible gay community in Maine," said Burke. "My goal is to bring resources to the community in an effort to bring people together."

Burke's vision for the future is to expand OutInMaine to the other New England states, forming sister companies with their own "OutIn…" under a new umbrella company called "OutInNewEngland". With each of these states having their own active social calendar, Burke hopes to support the quality of life for a community much larger than within state bounds.

"Any entity with something to share with the general public is a resource," explains Burke, "and any resource may be listed in multiple categories to help connect with interested web visitors."

The 5 categories of resources for OutInMaine are businesses, places of worship, schools, social groups, and support organizations.  To summit resource information to OutInMaine, visit OutInMaine.com.
