Our Mission
Gulf Coast Equality is a nonprofit organization comprised of LGBTQ+ individuals and allies whose purpose is to bring the Mississippi Gulf Coast community together with resources in an effort to foster and encourage equality while celebrating our diversity.
Our Vision
The vision of Gulf Coast Equality is to open a community center for the LGBTQ+ community that will provide outreach and services to LGBTQ+ people, allies, families, and friends. The center will also be used to educate the general public and the LGBTQ+ community about needs, issues, and various aspects of our culture. This is a current project we are working on.
