Telling a New Story About the LGBTQ South

The Campaign for Southern Equality is working to build a South where LGBTQ people are equal in every part of life. A South where your zipcode doesn’t determine your rights. Where all of us are free to be who we truly are and love who we truly love.



A South Where All of Us Can Thrive

The South is changing due to the courage and strength of the LGBTQ community. We’re working to accelerate that change by:

Funding & Training

grassroots organizers and activists to support a new generation of LGBTQ leaders.

Providing Easy Access

to resources and direct services for LGBTQ folks in the South.

Engaging in Rapid Response

organizing in response to immediate political threats and building political power through through long-term strategies.

Our work is rooted in empathy and in commitments to equity in race, gender, and class.

Resources for LGBTQ Folks

We're creating a pipeline of resources to the LGBTQ South to help folks access services and to provide funding and training for grassroots organizers.
