Branch Pride. exists to celebrate our culture, commemorate our heritage, educate against homophobia and empower our diverse LGBTQ+ and associated community across Branch County.
 

Branch Pride. envisions a community characterized by a strong commitment to universal civil rights; safe communities, workplaces, and schools; stable families; and self-reliant lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals.
 

Branch Pride. forsees a time where all people across Branch County are fully empowered to participate safely, openly, and honestly in society, regardless of gender-identity or sexual orientation. We envision a community solidified by respect and love for our brothers and sisters in and outside of the LGBT community.
 

Branch Pride Inc. relies on the leadership and energy of its volunteers and the support of its sponsors to make these visions a reality. We strive to foster ongoing community education and sort through a public presence, outreach educational programs, social events and partnering with other organizations to make Branch County a welcoming place for all of us to call home and raise a family

Passion – We engage a team of volunteers, staff, and partners who have a passion for helping others.

Respect – We celebrate and respect the fundamental values and differences in all individuals.

Unity – We work with integrity to unite the community through collaboration and organizational partnerships.

Diversity – We dedicate ourselves to creating an environment that values and honors diverse backgrounds, cultures, and communities.

Lastly, we believe that a denial of equality for any one aspect of our community is a denial of equality for all.
