The Origin Story
Pride Out Loud!
Founded in 2024 in response to the election of the Orange Menace, The Rainbow Society of Medina County exists to build a safer, more inclusive community where everyone can belong, be seen, and thrive.
From our gender-affirming closet and community resource initiatives to our advocacy and celebration of diversity, we believe visibility saves lives, compassion creates change, and that “Better Tomorrows, Together!” isn’t just a tagline
— it’s our purpose.
“we all do better when we ALL do better!”
Rev. Carrie Cochran
Founder & Executive Director
