We are pleased to offer this summary report on the LGBTQ business, work, lifestyle and travel aspects of Dallas.
The heart of LGBTQ life Dallas lies in the Oak Lawn neighborhood on and nearby Cedar Springs Road. The junction of Throckmorton and Cedar Springs is right in the heart of this #Gayborhood, with a wide range of bars, restaurants and shops catering to the LGBTQ Dallas community nearby.
The local LGBTQ business community here in Dallas is quite strong and well developed, anchored by the Dallas Voice and the North Texas GLBT Chamber of Commerce. Other organizations are quite strong here, including the Dallas Pride Organization and the Cathedral of Hope Church. Events such as the Black Tie Dinner are well established, while new events such as the Unleashed LGBTQ Expo find a welcoming home for their 1st year events!
HRC Corporate Equality Index (CEI) 2019 - Companies with a score of 100
Rating Workplaces on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Equality
"The top-scoring companies on this year's CEI are not only establishing policies that affirm and include employees here in the United States, they are applying these policies to their global operations and impacting millions of people beyond our shores," said HRC President Chad Griffin. "Many of these companies have also become vocal advocates for equality in the public square, including the dozens that have signed on to amicus briefs in vital Supreme Court cases and the more than 180 that have joined HRC's Business Coalition for the Equality Act. Time and again, leading American businesses have shown that protecting their employees and customers from discrimination isn't just the right thing to do - it's also good for business."
