About Tyler Area Gays

Tyler Area Gays (TAG) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting community wellness and celebrating diversity through comprehensive support, education, outreach, and advocacy programs serving Tyler, TX and the broader East Texas region. Since its founding in May 2008, TAG has established itself as a vital resource for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender individuals, and straight allies seeking connection, information, and community engagement. The organization's core services include public education initiatives addressing issues specifically affecting LGBTQ+ persons and their families, targeted activities aimed at eliminating prejudice, discrimination, isolation, and bullying, and awareness campaigns highlighting injustices and the critical need for human and civil rights protection. TAG operates from a foundation of strength in numbers, believing that collaborative efforts yield greater impact than individual actions alone. The organization creates inclusive environments where members feel safe to be authentically themselves without fear of repression or judgment. Through its commitment to honest communication and mutual trust, TAG fosters understanding while standing firmly against hate and violence in all forms. The organization's diverse programs and advocacy work reflect deep respect for the inherent dignity of all people and a belief in the transformative power of community support. Whether providing direct assistance to those affected by negative societal forces, facilitating educational workshops, or championing policy changes, TAG remains committed to advancing equality and acceptance throughout Tyler and East Texas.
