Focus/Mission: The Michigan Gayly: LGBTQ+ Issues is a monthly periodical consisting of articles focused on LGBTQ+ issues here on campus and in the world at large. We want to elevate the voices of queer people in general with a focus on those who are most marginalized-- queer people of color, queer people of faith, trans and nonbinary folks, etc. We hope to create an outlet of self-expression for Michigan students of all backgrounds within the LGBTQ+ community, while also spreading awareness of LGBTQ+ issues to queer and straight readers alike.
