Justin Yoder is the founder of LGBT Outdoors, a community that connects the LGBTQ+ community with the outdoors.
He came out in 2010. This was unfortunately a traumatic experience for him that resulted in family and friends turning away from him for being gay.
Justin has always loved the outdoors, and felt strongly connected to the community and was devasted to also see and feel that he did no longer enjoy the outdoors and the community, as he felt he didn't fit in anymore.

Today Justin shares his story of how he founded an outdoor community that not only connects LGBTQ+ outdoor enthusiasts but also creates a unique platform for first-timers to experience nature in a new way and connects with like-minded people.
