About LGBTQ+ Grant County

LGBTQ+ Grant County is a not-for-profit organization serving the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer communities and their allies in Southwestern New Mexico’s Grant County. 

Mission

  1. Build the capacity of our organization at every level so that we may have all the resources, in the form of information, people and funding, necessary to move forward in our work with the greatest possible effect.
  2. Create a world in which our young people may grow up and be educated with freedom from ear of violence, bullying and other forms of discrimination, regardless of their real or perceived gender identity or sexual orientation or that of their families.
  3. Make our vision and our message accessible to the broadest range of ethnic and cultural communities, ending the isolation of families with gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender family members within those communities.
  4. Work toward full inclusion of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons within their chosen communities of faith.
  5. Create a society in which all GLBT persons may openly and safely pursue the career path of their choice, and may be valued and encouraged to grow to their full potential in the workplace.
  6. Create a society in which all gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons may enjoy, in every aspect of their lives, full civil and legal equality and may participate fully in all the rights, privileges and obligations of full citizenship in this country.

Past

Formerly a subsidiary of the not-for-profit group SWAN (Southwest Activities Network), LGBTQ+ Grant County is in the process of creating its own 501(c) three that will operate independently, strengthening our ability to raise funds in support of our constituencies.
