Equality for All Means All

Support and allyship for the LGBTQ+ community has been an ongoing mission in Columbus for several decades. Starting with an ordinance in 1984 banning bar employers from discriminating based on sexual orientation to now—where LGBTQ+ businesses are at the center of making our city thrive.

Pride is more than a parade here. Experience Columbus is a member of the International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association (IGLTA) and Columbus has proven it’s a city that’s great for members of the LGBTQ+ community to visit, and even better to call home. To live, work, and raise a family in a welcoming and affirming neighborhood—that is our passion and our purpose.
