Shoutout, a Facebook-only publication that features original pieces by a team of volunteer writers and also collates LGBTQ stories from other local outlets. To date, they ve profiled people like Rusty Tennant, who helms Fuse Theatre Ensemble s OutWright Theatre Festival, and Daniel Quasar, the designer behind the Progress Pride Flag; Poison Waters produces a weekly Q&A column with local drag artists. To supplement the stories,Â
Shoutout s feed is littered with links to events and festivals, and signal boosts for local LGBTQ orgs, which gives it the feel of a community bulletin.
