HISTORY: Founded in 2010 by Kristin Russo and Dannielle Owens-Reid, Everyone Is Gay began as an advice website for all with an emphasis on LGBTQ youth. Through an integration of humor, honesty, and pictures of kittens on several social media outlets, Kristin and Dannielle found that they were able to support these youth while keeping them laughing. In 2011, Everyone Is Gay began visiting schools and community centers to reach a larger audience and to continue promoting a message of equality.

VISION: Everyone Is Gay envisions and works to create a future where people are kind to one another, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity; a future where we allow ourselves to connect across socially constructed divides through laughter and honesty; a future where human equality is realized through accessible, daily acts of change.

MISSION: Everyone Is Gay promotes peer advocacy and provides resources and outreach to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) youth. By engaging audiences through evolving social media networks and community events, Everyone Is Gay seeks to constantly examine how LGBTQ issues intersect with other communities, and to utilize laughter, honesty, and dialogue as tools for further action.
