Rainbow Families Great Lakes (RFGL) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the development, promotion, provision and support of programming for LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered) parents, those interested in becoming parents, and the children of LGBT and/or non-traditional families, youth who are themselves LGBT, and their allies.

We're comprised of volunteers and open to all persons that support diversity and rally against discrimination within their local communities. Committed to social justice and economic accessibility, we work from the principle of education and empowerment through family time.

Registration for Family Week 2013 is open! Join the Superhero celebration July 13-19 in Saugatuck and Douglas. Check out the Quick Guide to see this year's schedule of activites. The old favorites—tie-dyeing, sunset socials at the beach, pool party, pancake breakfast, scavenger hunt and celebration parade—are all back. New this year: XANADU! at Saugatuck Center for the Arts, a special Kids Afternoon Out activity for just the teenagers, and an evening bonfire at the Carton-Crandell ranch!

Also, don't forget about the RFGL Spring Getaway May 17-19, 2013 at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Parkā„¢ Camp Resort in Fremont, Indiana. Call 800-375-6063 to reserve your spot.


RFGL has selected several books, films and apparel that might be of interest to its members. By purchasing items through these links, a small portion of the selling price is returned to RFGL in support of its mission, vision and values.


RFGL and West Shore AWARE--Together we are making a difference. We stand for zero-tolerance bullying policies, for all students, including anti-LGBT bullying, in all schools. Download and utilize the pamphlets and brochures in your organization.

Help RFGL squash bullying. As part of our AWARE Project and anti-bullying campaign, RFGL has created an amazing RESPECT YOURSELF poster. The poster is sized 24X36 and would look great on your tween or teen's bedroom wall! Suggested donation $14 to help RFGL cover cost. Contact RFGL to order your poster.

Rainbow Families Great Lakes would like to thank West Shore Aware for their generous gift of support.
