SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WOWO): An LGBTQ advocacy group at the University of Notre Dame launched its campaign with the release of a video called “Out and Proud” on Tuesday, April 28, the same day the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on same-sex marriage.
OUTatND, a group of Notre Dame students, alumni, faculty, staff, affiliates and South Bend community members, wants to promote “equality, visibility and solidarity” for the LGBTQ community and its allies, according to a news release from the group.
The video urges others to get involved with the movement and to post pictures of themselves with signs on social media.
Notre Dame sponsors PrismND, a support group for LGBTQ students, but the group can’t actively support same-sex relationships or marriage equality, according to the news release. OUTatND operates independently of the college and PrismND.
