Out In Maine, a new website connecting Maine’s LGBTQ community to gay-friendly businesses, social events and other resources statewide, is officially online.
“For three years it’s been will it get done, will I have enough, will everything work out just right? It’s a big relief to know that it’s out there and available for the public,” the site’s founder David Burke told WCSH-TV’s News Center Maine, which reported on Jan. 3:
The free website is connected with resources in all 16 Maine counties including stores, businesses, places of worship, and schools in addition to LGBTQ support organizations. …
Burke hopes that by March there will more 150 different resources available for Mainers. He plans for the site to continue to grow and to find more gay-friendly businesses to work with.
“Maine is a part of this. It’s not just for the gay community, it’s for the state of Maine,” said Burke. “So I do very well support Maine businesses as well as veterans. It’s very important as a veteran myself.”
The site launched early on New Year’s Day, and Burke looks to see his resource guide and social calendar expand.
