DeForest Theatricals, producer of “The Doris Dear Christmas Special” has teamed with the OUT Foundation to raise needed funds to empower the LGBTQ+ students and alumni of Brigham Young University through the sale of a new custom designed enamel pin depicting the star of the show, Doris Dear. The OUT Foundation was created in the spring of 2017 when three gay men, all of whom had graduated several years earlier from the LDS Church-­owned Brigham Young University, came together with the same thought: they knew they weren’t the first gay people to graduate from BYU, so where were the others? After spending several years in the workforce, they saw that there was no formal organization to help queer alumni from BYU. The OUT Foundation has created campaigns to document and share alumni stories, build communities, create scholarships, and set up emergency funding for housing and other resources for the LGBTQ+ BYU students in need.
