Equality Ohio
Equality Ohio defends the rights of LGBTQ Ohioans. We are Ohio’s only organization dedicated solely to the civil rights of LGBTQ Ohioans. We work with partners across the wide landscape of the Ohio social justice movement.
We work in communities across the state to ensure that local laws reflect and protect LGBTQ residents. We work at the Ohio Statehouse to make sure that our state laws are fair to LGBTQ people, and that Ohio does not take a step backwards. And Equality Ohio is a voice at the federal level that represents the interest of LGBTQ Ohioans.
We hold elected leaders accountable for decisions they make that impact the LGBTQ community. In addition, we work on policy issues with healthcare facilities, corporations, service providers, and more.
Equality Ohio works on the issues affecting LGBTQ people and our communities through education, advocacy and mobilization efforts to achieve our vision: an Ohio where everyone feels at home and where equality, diversity and inclusiveness are universally valued.
