On June 3, 2023, we’ll gather to recognize and celebrate the many victories helping to advance fairness, safety and opportunity for Georgia’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) communities and our allies over the past year.

Become a sponsor or member of the Host Committee TODAY and join some of Georgia’s most important advocates, elected and community leaders for our annual presentation of the Equality Awards. 

Your attendance at Evening for Equality supports Georgia Equality’s work:
-educating and organizing communities and policy makers at the local, state, and federal levels to keep Georgia safe for all people;
-supporting policies that promote LGBTQ health and protect people living with HIV/AIDS;
-developing leaders in the movement for transgender equality; and
-helping elect candidates who support the equal treatment of all.
