--Three Key Takeaways--

• Early on, the Outright team quick realized there are many kindred spirits in Web3 who share the values of Outright International and believe in the social impact potential of Web3, which made it easier than anticipated to build partnerships.
• One of the biggest challenges in Web3 is understanding the space and the technology, and being able to recognize the difference between the positive and negatives and how the technology can be used ethically. One of the best ways to learn and understand Web3 is to stay active, take part in events and spaces, and build partnerships.
• There have been a lot of challenges and setbacks in recent years regarding LGBTIQ rights around the world. Despite this, there are reasons for hope, and everyone has a role to play in supporting human rights for LGBTIQ people by advocating to representatives, supporting LGBTIQ organizations, and checking in on and supporting your Queer friends and family.
