About Great Lakes Bay Pride
Rooted in the Midland, Michigan community, Great Lakes Bay Pride represents a vital hub for 2SLGBTQ+ individuals and allies seeking connection, support, and resources. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the organization envisions and strives to create an inclusive and supportive community that inspires engagement, equality, and respect for all people. What sets Great Lakes Bay Pride apart is their deeply personal approach to community building—from peer support groups where members find understanding and friendship, to social gatherings and cultural events that celebrate identity and belonging. The organization recognizes that support looks different for everyone, which is why they offer specialized programs tailored to specific needs, whether that's a transgender peer support group in Bay City, Friday night dinners fostering connection, or the Harmony Diversity Choir providing artistic expression and community. Great Lakes Bay Pride's commitment extends beyond Midland to serve the entire Great Lakes Bay Region, demonstrating a regional vision for inclusivity and support. By maintaining accessible resources, facilitating difficult conversations around identity and health, and creating welcoming spaces for celebration and gathering, Great Lakes Bay Pride has become an essential community resource. Their non-discrimination statement and community code of conduct reflect their dedication to creating truly safe and affirming spaces where every person is valued for who they are.
