Today we were at Michigan Pride and it felt a bit like a family reunion. I used to live in the Lansing area for many years before moving to the Detroit area.

However there is a shortage of support groups in Lansing. It is definitely clear that there is a demand for a support group in the Lansing area. In fact we had more traffic and requests for information at our booth in Lansing than we did at Motor City Pride.
But today we made a number of contacts which may lead to a viable support group, including a local church that is interested in hosting the group. Hopefully we will be able soon to announce the successful start of this group.
What church? (curious if it's my home church) I am hopefully moving back to Lansing, MI in the next 2-3 months, and was thinking of starting/helping start a trans group in the area. I'd love to be on a contact list if something is started or in the beginning stages. Thank you for all you are doing!! :)
