1) How do you stay involved with local LGBT activism?

I think one of the greatest assets that west Michigan has to offer to the LGBT community as a whole in Michigan is our strong network we have built. Thanks to the hard work of many people that have come before me, I feel comfortably connected to other like-minded people through all the various community organizations and groups, such as Speak Equal, West Michigan Pride, The Network and GIFT, as well the strong social connections we hold here in west Michigan.
