LOUD AND PROUD SINCE 2021

GAYSPRA's roots can be traced back to the 2021 National School Public Relations Conference in New Orleans. It all began with a small gathering of LGBTQI+ individuals and allies who found common ground during the previous year's National School Public Relations seminar. Recognizing the need to honor our diversity, it became clear that creating a dedicated event and space was the next logical step forward.

Tradition is that the Saturday evening before the National School Public Relations conference, you can find a large group of individuals being loud and proud, supporting local queer businesses, and making new friends in the #SchoolPR community.

GAYSPRA welcomes LBGTQI+ and Allies to join us as we celebrate being exactly who you are together.

*GAYSPRA is a personal gathering not affiliated with or endorsed by the NSPRA association or any other organization or association.
