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.
