To the Editor:
We are excited to announce the creation of the Gasconade County LGBTQ+ group, a new community-driven initiative focused on providing a safe, welcoming, and supportive space for LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies in our area.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to come together, uplift each other, and build connections that promote visibility, understanding, and acceptance.
In a time when representation matters more than ever, we are committed to combating feelings of isolation by demonstrating that LGBTQ+ individuals are not only present but active and valued members of the Gasconade County community. Through this group, we aim to create a strong support network while organizing meaningful activities that integrate the LGBTQ+ community into the broader social fabric of our area.
We are hosting regular meetings and community events that aim to foster friendships, raise awareness, and inspire positive change. We are also working to establish ourselves as a registered nonprofit organization to better support these initiatives and expand our impact within the community.
We invite individuals from all backgrounds, LGBTQ+ and allies alike to join us in this important mission. Together, we can cultivate a more inclusive Gasconade County for all.
For more details on how to get involved, learn about upcoming events, or stay connected with us, please visit our website at www.gasconade-lgbtq.org or find us on Facebook.
Let’s unite to create a space where every voice is valued.
Sincerely,
Arlynn Jones and Tyler Wilson
Founders, Gasconade LGBTQ+
