The Milwaukee LGBT Community Center

Since 1997, we aim to nurture an inclusive, diverse, healthy, and safe LGBTQ+ community in meeting their basic needs: food, clothing, hygiene and mental health.

We do this by offering tangible resources like a food pantry, a gender affirming clothing boutique, personal care items, and an array of mental health supports and activities.

 
 
 

We are always accepting donations so that we can continue to serve our great community.

 
 
 

TGIF is back!

This month TGIF is on Friday, June 26, 5:30-7:30pm at:

The Outsider
310 E. Chicago Street, Milwaukee, WI 53202

The Outsider, is the kind of place where you’ll want to become an insider real quick. It’s an enviable stage to savor cocktails, enjoy small bites, swap stories, and entertain well into the night. Set nine stories above Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward, the rooftop bar and lounge offers an elevated social experience, with an indoor/outdoor space designed for bringing people together–all four seasons.

Celebrate Pride at The Outsider with their featured cocktail, "House of Harmony”, which was inspired by and created as a tribute to the Gay Ballroom scene and the sense of community, creativity, and self-expression it represents. Throughout the month, The Journeyman Hotel will donate $2.00 from every cocktail sold.

The Outsider is located on the top floor of the Kimpton Journeyman Hotel in the Third Ward where parking can be challenging. It is a short walk from the 15, 18, and Green Line of Milwaukee County Transit System bus routes.The building is ADA accessible.

 
 
 

TGIF is our monthly happy hour social, hosted at a different local venue each month. It’s a casual, drop-in style event that brings together community members for networking, connection, and fun in a relaxed atmosphere. 

No RSVP is necessary, simply show up and enjoy the time with new or current friends. Bring some cash to participate in our LICENSED raffle to win awesome prizes from local businesses.
