As the classic Slogan suggests…We’re everywhere – even in Monroe, MI.. Our goal is to support the local LGBTQIA+ Community and our Allies of all shapes, sizes and colors.
Coffee meet up
Coffee Shop Meet-up – Wed. March 26, 2025
LGBTQ+ friends and allies are welcome to visit starting at 3 PM. While you don’t have to buy anything to participate it’s great to support the folks who support us if you can. So, the meet-up starts at 3 PM and runs til… whenever. Usually it’s about an hour or two depending on turn out. So that’s why we suggest coming at 3 PM to grab some yummy treats and drinks. In fact, check out Nocturnal Monroe’s website for more info including their menu.

Four Main Focuses
Social
Getting Together
While spreading the word about a worthwhile cause is important, it’s also important to have fun too! You have the chance to get together with like-minded people with the same goals and enjoy yourself.
Support
Being There
Family is important — Not just the ones we’re born into but also the ones we make. Be a part of something that’s local and making a difference in our community for all our citizens.
Events
Enacting Change
Since 2021 Embrace has hosted Monroe’s Pride Event to bring the community and our allies together for a day of fun. We’re also looking to branch out into other fun activities!
Visibility
Being Seen
While it is true that “We’re here; we’re queer, get used to it,” is true, it’s important to engage with the community at large to foster relationships and greater understanding.
