What is the purpose of our LOVE Support Group? Our L.O.V.E. Support Group is a gathering of people facing common issues to share what's troubling them. Through the sharing of experiences, they're able to offer support, encouragement, and comfort to the other group members, and receive the same in return. This is a support/social group for all Queers, Trans, Gender Diverse, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. This safe space helps us continue to build pathways in fostering a sense of common purpose for the overall awareness of our QTBIPOC community. This is a safe space to engage with each other confidently about issues, resources, and meaningful discussions to help empower each other.

Let your voice be heard so you can understand that you are not alone, and opinions are best received coming from people who have walked and seen the world through their eyes.

Talanoa - “Tala” means story and “noa” means to tie or bind. Through Talanoa, we can connect our stories and bring together communities for meaningful conversations. This Pacific Islander term is a dialogue to help reflect an inclusive and transparent conversation to actively learn and expand the understanding of what Queer, Transgender People of Color, and Youth face while living their lives authentically. Pacific Islanders have used Talanoa as a long-used technique and foundational pillar to strengthen our communities, especially in times of strife and conflict. We recognize that the Pacific Islanders and youth in Las Vegas are culturally disconnected. Therefore, we aim to reconnect our community by bridging these cultural gaps. This program will help our youth become effective Pacific Islanders leaders who promote diversity and inclusion.

Culture is a vital and determining factor in how the community reacts, responds, and grows. It is part of our identity as Pacific Islanders that helps shape the way we view ourselves and others. Our Luau Gala showcases how we embrace and represent our Pacific Islands by portraying each culture through history, story-telling, and dance.

In Partnership with the City of Las Vegas, UTOPIA Las Vegas is part of the "Adopt-A-Spot" program in which we are assigned a designated spot to clean up and beautify every month. We welcome friends, family, and whoever wants to volunteer to join us and show pride in where we reside.
