About Embrace Monroe
Monroe, MI LGBTQ+ Community
Our local LGBTQ group focuses on four key areas – social, support, events and visibility – to improve the quality of life for those lesbian, gay, bi, trans and queer folks in our community.
It’s also a group that wants to create a great awareness for our allies as well – regardless of their personal orientations and looking out for all minorities that feel they are overlooked and not heard. Below you’ll find some various areas we engage in so we can meet our groups goals.
Social
Interacting with the community is one of the best ways to form strong relationships regardless of orientation. Our goal is to create a group that’s safe for Monroe’s LGBTQ+ community and their loved ones while also providing fun ways to get together.
Support
One problem that many people in the LGBTQ+ community face is a feeling of being alone. That’s why we meet each month to discuss ways to make our group better and to discuss anything that’s on our minds.
Events
Since 2020 Embrace has hosted Monroe’s Pride Event to bring the community and our allies together for a day of fun. We’re always seeking businesses that also want to make a difference by showing their support.
Visibility
For decades people in the LGBTQ+ community have lived in the shadows but the truth is we are everywhere. Our goal is to not just be seen by the local community but to also be embraced as productive members of our society with value and worth.
