Something to Talk About 

 One Iowa advances, empowers, and improves the lives of LGBTQ Iowans statewide. 

Iowa Safe Schools provides safe, supportive, and nurturing learning environments and communities for LGBTQ and allied youth through education, outreach, advocacy, and direct services.  

The Real MainStream (TRM) is the only blatantly LGBTQ-affirming, intersectional, progressive publication serving Illinois and Iowa. We bring journalism, compassion and intersectionality to those who feel marginalized from the “mainstream.” TRM offers news, culture and opinion from a progressive perspective focused on truth, fairness, compassion and building better future relationships. .

Central Iowa Rainbow Families provides play dates, meet ups, resources, educational activities, advocacy opportunities, and workshops to LGBTQ families (and prospective parents). 

We are also part of Family Equality’s National Network of LGBTQ Family Groups. 

 Learn what the letters LGBTQ stand for, comprehend the continuum of gender and sexuality experiences, understand the need for an array of pronouns, examine prejudice, assumptions, and privilege.
