Created to honor Matthew in a manner that was appropriate to his dreams, beliefs and aspirations, the Foundation seeks to "Replace Hate with Understanding, Compassion & Acceptance" through its varied educational, outreach and advocacy programs and by continuing to tell Matthew's story.

The Foundation focuses on three primary areas: Erasing Hate in our society, putting GLBT Youth First and ensuring Equality for all GLBT Americans.

Our mission is to educate and empower organizations, human resource professionals, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and individual employees through programs and services that result in equal policies, opportunities, practices, and benefits in the workplace regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, expression, or characteristics.

Out & Equal provides enriching workplace services and programs, such as our Building Bridges LGBT Diversity Training and Town Call Series to realize our goal: to promote equality for all individuals, including the LGBT community, families, and allies in the workplace.

Out & Equal also makes significant advancements in our campaign for equality for all people in the workplace through national regional affiliates, networking events, discussion groups, professional speakers, our annual Out & Equal Workplace Summit, as well as promoting LGBT best practices, including Out & Equal’s 20 Steps to an Out & Equal Workplace.

If you are a youth who is feeling alone, confused or in crisis, please call 1-866-4-U-TREVOR. You’ll be able to speak confidentially with a trained counselor 24/7.

TLC utilizes direct legal services, public policy advocacy, and educational opportunities to advance the rights and safety of diverse transgender communities. TLC uses the term "transgender" to represent all of the innumerable genders and forms of gender expression that fall within and outside of stereotypical gender norms. TLC also understands, acknowledges, and resists non-gender based oppressions which limit people's ability to live in peace.

We carry out this mission through education, legislative advocacy, grassroots organizing, coalition-building and electoral involvement. These efforts are designed to educate the general voting public, sensitize the media, promote a politically active and effective organizational membership, and better inform policy makers on issues of concern to our members.

GSA for Safe Schools provides public awareness, leadership development for youth, skill development for GSA advisors and other secondary school educators. The primary recipients of GSA for Safe Schools programs are LGBT middle and high school students and their allies, educators, and the public and private educational systems in which they learn and work.

GSA for Safe Schools focuses its programs in South Central Wisconsin and, in concert with other strategic partners, extends its public awareness and skill development efforts more broadly in Wisconsin through workshops, as well as print and electronic resources, thus affecting systemic change.

We are now offering a year-round league for players interested in learning and playing Volleyball. The league has both Intermediate/Competitive and Recreational leagues for players to learn the fundamentals of the sport of Volleyball and to compete fairly in their skill levels.

As is common throughout the sport of rugby, the team emphasizes building camaraderie and friendships on and off the pitch (the playing field). By seeking diversity among team members across age, race, ethnicity and sexual orientation, the Minotaurs are dedicated in building bridges among communities while increasing the visibility of rugby. We currently have strong relationships with the Wisconsin Rugby club (a Madison Senior Men’s Rugby Team) and the Wisconsin Women’s Rugby club and are looking to learn and grow with other Wisconsin Rugby Clubs.

WHO WE ARE:

A place to belong…
Middleton Community Church United Church of Christ has been a true community church, "a church home for those who have no home," since its beginnings 70 years ago. Our members come from a variety of backgrounds and beliefs and are at different points in their spiritual journeys, yet all share a common desire to deepen their faith and find meaning and purpose in our lives.

Making a difference…
Through our participation in Middleton Outreach Ministry, Interfaith Hospitality Network, The Crossing Campus Ministry, prison ministry, the CROP Walk, and many other programs and organizations, we seek to offer help and hope in material and spiritual ways.

Continuing to grow…
In the fall of 2005, the church Council formed an advisory team to consider the question of becoming an Open and Affirming (ONA) Congregation. Several events were planned over the next 2 years as part of a comprehensive congregational dialogue on the inclusion of all people, particularly gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered persons, in the life and ministry of the church. On January 27, 2008, members of the church voted unanimously to declare Middleton Community Church an "Open and Affirming" congregation.
Middleton Community Church continues to be a "church home for those who have no home" attracting people from multiple Christian denominations and those with no prior church experience. We are growing our ministries and reaching out to our community with music concerts, Tuesday Night Fellowship, bicycling and walking groups, adult and youth educational programming and mission opportunities.

We are glad for any and all who can participate. We are not a large group and probably never will be, but we are a stable, down to earth, friendly, welcoming and accepting group.

Meetings
We hold regular meetings and social events on the first Monday of each month at Richland County Health and Human Services, located in Richland Center at 1000 Highway 14 West (right next to the UW-Richland campus on the west side of town). Meetings are from 7:00PM - 9:00PM, and are not held on holidays. Meetings are free and confidential.

Newsletters
Monthly newsletters, which include notices of meetings and events, are sent regularly to those on our confidential mailing list. If you would like to be included, we ask for a $16 donation.

Today, The Lavender Salon has over 40 members from Oshkosh to Sturgeon Bay, from Manitowoc to Waupaca. We read and watch a wide variety of books & films on gay themes. After a common meal, we discuss the month's book or watch the selected film, and then hold a discussion (time allowing). We provide a welcoming environment in which to hold discussions on a wide variety of topics. Members come from a wide range of ages, educational and economic backgrounds.

The Lavender Salon offers an opportunity to explore what it means and meant to be gay through books (both literature & nonfiction), and film.

Our service area is northeast Wisconsin. We are headquartered in Green Bay with a satellite office in Appleton.

We are the oldest officially recognized women's religion in the United States, as well as the largest with affiliated circles and solitary members from around the world.

For many of us there is a sense we are part of a larger whole: that within us, and perhaps beyond us, something exists which is comforting, strong, female, and divine. For the women of the Congregation, this feeling is called Goddess.

We seek to be a welcoming place for everyone to come together in Christ, to claim our ministries and create community.

Whoever you are, wherever you find yourself on your journey of faith,
you are welcome here.
