Student work groups around homosexuality emerged all over the Netherlands in the 1960s.
A number of people in Wageningen also wanted to set up a working group.
After consultation with the student pastor of the then-called Wageningen Agricultural College, an appeal was placed in the Wageningen College newspaper.
Thus, in 1968 the Wageningen Student Working Group on Homosexuality (WSWH) came into being with its own P.O. Box (89).
Living room meetings were organized, and evenings were held at youth clubs Unitas, the Wijkhuis and Jokari.

In 1972 it was decided that the working group should not focus only on students, and the name changed to Wageningse Werkgroep Homoseksualiteit (WWH).
In the 1970s, the WWH shut down several times due to the high turnover of students.

Once an initiative succumbed to its success.
At the Troost Integration Kafee in Troika, gays and straights could integrate with each other.
However, so many heterosexuals came that the homosexuality theme faded into the background altogether.

In the early 1980s, COC Arnhem wanted to know what was going on in terms of gay activities in the province.
That’s how it ended up in Wageningen as well.
A number of people responded to the COC’s call and a meeting was organized.
That same evening it was decided to do something with the people present, to organize evenings for homosexuals in Wageningen.
It was also decided then that the Gay Group Wageningen would not become part of the COC.

The Gay Group continues to grow.
In the late seventies, early eighties, the group moves from location to location: Comfort, Zeezicht, Unitas… For a long time there has been a need for its own premises, its own permanent place.
Not only for café evenings was a place of its own desired; there was a lack of a place to hold meetings, build an archive and be constantly accessible.

For a year, everything was based in a small apartment on Pomona; the secretariat, the answering machine and all meetings were held there.
There were even calls from men who thought there was an escort service there!
In 1984, the Wild World came about and the Gay Group was eager to house itself here as well.
To pay the rent, a municipal subsidy was needed, and for that the Gay Group had to become an official association.

In 1985, the bylaws are approved and the Gay Group is an official association with its own location.
From April 1988 until sometime in 2006, the Gay Group has their own magazine, the Pink Message.

After a long renovation of the building, the first gay bar night was held in The Wild World on April 14, 1989.
With the growing student numbers, the Gay Group also grows in the 1990s.
Many things are undertaken as well as considerable politics with the city council.
In 1997, the specific women’s group within the Gay Group was disbanded due to lack of interest.
In 1998 the Gay Group went online with its first website at The Digital City.

As of 2002, she had her own domain, gaygroup.com.
Around 2006 a difficult time started for the Gay Group.
Not many people were active anymore and an active group of LHB youth from Unitas arose alongside the Homogroep.
In 2009 this youth group under the name SHOUT joined the Gay group.
This group brought life back into the brewery and in addition to the parties, many new activities arose.

In 2010, Homogroep was granted ANBI status, allowing people to donate tax-free from then on.
At the end of 2010, it was decided by the General Assembly that Gay Group Wageningen and SHOUT would continue under the name SHOUT Wageningen.

After the name change, SHOUT did very well for several years.
Parties on Thursdays were introduced in addition to the Saturday parties that focused more on students.

2012 saw the launch of Find Out SHOUT, an introductory period for those interested in the association in the fall.
In 2013, SHOUT expanded its social function of safe meeting place and education by establishing an asylum seeker support committee to support LGBTQ asylum seekers who are in the process shelter in Wageningen.

Again there were fluctuations in volunteer numbers.
The PR committee disappeared and its tasks shifted to the party committees that became responsible for posters and promotion themselves, also the number of café evenings went down significantly for a few years.
In 2014 the PR committee was revived and the café evenings became more frequent again.

SHOUT was once again running at a stable level, but it was difficult to find new members and party attendance was declining.
In fall 2016, the PR committee went all out with a week of activities (Pink Week) to make SHOUT better known to the university and the people of Wageningen.
It was a success and attendance at the parties steadily increased after that.

In June 2017, it was announced that SHOUT could team up with The Wild World Theater Foundation to rent the office space of the former information center.
This larger office space should also provide space for association evenings for SHOUT members to become more of a social club in addition to an interest group.
The space was refurbished by members of SHOUT.

Beginning in January 2018, a bi-weekly association night on Tuesday nights began.
