"A Vision without a task is only a dream. A task without a vision is but drudgery. But vision with a task is a dream fulfilled." Anonymous

Our vision is to affirm and support the variety of identities and interests that migrant LGBT individuals present by organizing events, peer to peer interactions, and other activities that enhance our members' well-being and celebrate their differences whether they be cultural, religious, sexual preference, or gender identity. Through many opportunities for involvement, the Foundation fosters the concept that individual identities and experiences are respected and that the unique contribution of each member is valued.
