ABOUT US
We are a nonprofit organization made of loyal volunteers serving the LGBTQ+ community of Victoria in Texas and the surrounding counties. At LGBTQ+ VictoriaTX we see the value in everyone. We want to be a catalyst for positive change and, since our beginnings in 2007, we've been driven by the same ideas we initially founded our nonprofit organization upon: support, empowerment, and progress.
Back in 2007, our nonprofit organization realized that by working together our strength lies not only in the words we standby, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. We also realized that by working together we could overcome our challenges more efficiently and that is why we ultimately decided to launch LGBTQ+ Victoria Texas.
The LGBTQ+ are valued members who add to our diversity and make this a better place to be. Our vision includes making sure all LGBTQ+ feel safe, are healthy, have equal human rights, and can live wholly and freely. All LGBTQ+ experience the benefits of full participation in economic, educational, political, community, and social areas at all stages of life.
OUR MISSION
To educate the individuals and businesses within Victoria County and the surrounding area about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning, and the plus community in order to end discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
The term LGBTQ+ refers to individuals, including, but not limited to people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, and two-spirited. Our use of the terms LGBTQ or in the alternative, sexual and gender minorities, recognizes individual differences in self-identification, attraction and expression.
