BWMT-Milwaukee

Who we are

The late Michael Smith of San Francisco desired to create a way for black and white men interested in cross cultural relationships to meet. His plan was to start an organization that would serve as a meeting point to foster these relationships. In 1980, he placed an ad in The Advocate and San Francisco, Chicago, Kansas City, New York and Boston responded by establishing local chapters of Black and White Men Together (BWMT).

Our Vision

Black and White Men Together - Milwaukee (BWMT-Milwaukee) is a gay, multi-racial, multi-cultural organization established in 1981 as an outlet for social interaction for men of all ethnic persuasions. We are committed to fostering a better understanding of issues across color lines. We are also committed to combating discrimination in the lesbigay community and society at large.

Our Mission

To these ends, we foster a supportive environment for interracial relationships and friendships and engage in educational, political, cultural, and social activities as a means of dealing with the racism, sexism, homophobia, and other inequalities in our communities and in our lives.
BWMT Milwaukee is a safe haven and opportunity to:

?? Develop and define multi-cultural relationships
?? Talk and learn about racism, sexism and homophobia and their impact on our lives
?? Learn more about our own and other cultures and histories
?? Affirm our sexuality
?? Discover and become a part of a ''family'' and community that extends across the country
?? Join and involve oneself in the local chapter and/or become a National Member
?? Build new friendships that may last a lifetime.
