HISTORY


There is a growing number of Latinos Gays, Lesbian, Bisexuals, and Transgenders in Michigan. However, the various needs of this specific growing population have not been addressed in a sensitive/appropriate manner. In recognition of the need for such a group Midwest Aids Prevention Project (MAPP) formed a group called "La Comunidad" in September of 2000. In English it translates to "The Community." Since the establishment of "La Comunidad" we have organized meetings, health forums, dances and movie nights in the Metro Detroit area. This year we are focusing on opening new chapters around Michigan to organize more activities and make new friends. "La Comunidad" does not discriminate! We welcome all races, religions, genders, social classes and political preferences. SUPPORT US!

OUR MISSION

"La Comunidad" is a program created to provide information, education, advocacy, support and social activities as well as foster pride for the Latino Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender communities of the Metro Detroit area.

LOOKING AHEAD

"La Comunidad" has started three chapters in Michigan. These chapters have been established in Detroit, Lansing and Flint, and we may work together to form one in Grand Rapids. We will be organizing more activities for the Latino Communities in Michigan throughout the year.
