Welcome! We're LGBTQ+ Michigan; a social organization for the LGBTQ+ University of Michigan community to connect and have a safe space. We host meetups, game nights, and more!

The LGBTQ+ Michigan Discord community is a great online space to connect! Join us here where we relax and plan our meetups!

about us

In 2016, Emily Kaufman founded LGBT Michigan to provide a general LGBTQ+ environment on campus. LGBT Michigan was meant to be detached from other LGBTQ+ professional organizations and focus more on providing a social space. From 2016-2019, LGBT Michigan also went on to participate in LGBTQ+ activism on campus, host dinners, and other various activities, but slowed growth during COVID-19.

In Spring 2020, Amon Green and Reyna Wood founded the "LGBTQ+ of UMich" Discord community. The Discord was similarly meant to be a general social LGBTQ+ space for University of Michigan students. LGBTQ+ of UMich held meetups and game nights regularly beginning Fall 2020, lasting into the following semesters. As of Fall 2021, the Discord is at 500 members strong.

In Fall 2021, LGBT Michigan and the LGBTQ+ of UMich Discord joined forces and rebirthed as LGBTQ+ Michigan, a vibrant LGBTQ+ social network that serves the University of Michigan campus. In addition to both original objectives, our combined initiative hopes to seek new outreach opportunities, get involved in campus LGBTQ+ activism, and solidify ourselves as campus's LGBTQ+ social space.

LGBTQ+ Michigan Update: New Beginnings

november 9th, 2021

Hello, Everyone! Today, LGBTQ+ Michigan (formerly LGBT Michigan) is toasting new leadership and new beginnings. We welcome two new Presidents to LGBTQ+ Michigan! We come from an LGBTQ+ University of Michigan Discord server that we started in Spring 2020 and are now merging with LGBTQ+ Michigan! To introduce ourselves:

Howdy, Folks! I’m Amon Green, They/Them, and I’m a second-year Engineering student. I’m studying Mechanical Engineering, but I also have a knack for computer science and enjoy taking up personal projects. I also watch far too much Star Trek and I’m a big metalhead. I was an admin for LGBTQ+ of FIRST, an LGBTQ+ initiative within FIRST Robotics, and I’m excited to join LGBTQ+ Michigan!

Hey! My name is Dyanna Bateman (she/her). I’m a third year student studying Communication and Media, Women’s and Gender Studies, and I am also a part of an Advanced Master’s Degree Program in Transcultural Studies. This is my third year on the LGBTQ+ Michigan eboard and I am also an executive board member for Bilateral+, Graphic Design Editor for The Michigan Gayly: LGBTQ+ Issues, Recruitment Coordinator for the Spectrum Center Programming Board, and Editor-in-Chief of Michiganensian Yearbook. In my spare time, I love to make chocolate and do general graphic design-related things!

Hey everyone! My name is Reyna Wood (She/Her), and I'm a Computer Science student in the College of Engineering. I'm really excited to be joining LGBTQ+ Michigan! Outside of this club, I'm also an IA for EECS 281, and a member of the admin team for the Casual Gaming Club - feel free to say hi if you see me around anywhere! In my spare time, I love playing tabletop games, video games with friends, and spending time with my girlfriend :)

Together, our initiative is to provide a social LGBTQ+ space on campus, host regular social events, increase outreach, and more. We look forward to the new opportunities presented to us, and we look forward to you joining the Discord community! You can find us here.
