Equality Loudoun

Equality Loudoun is a non-profit organization that builds community, promotes inclusion, and provides education to support LGBTQ+ equality in Loudoun County.

We envision an inclusive community where LGBTQ+ people and other marginalized groups are fully embraced by active allies and can live safely and openly.

Inclusion is the first step to creating change. Within EQLOCO the principle of Inclusion is aimed at bringing the outside community of allies, groups, and organizations together to create a network of advocates that will defend equality.  ​

Education is the key to everything we do. The first-hand knowledge and understanding that comes directly from the LGBTQ+ community can radically change the perception of queer rights issues. Once someone has misinformation replaced with truth, fear with understanding, and bigotry with friendship, then real change is possible. ​

Community picks us up and keeps us going when we fall. Through social support, opportunities to meet others like us, and chances to celebrate what makes us each unique and wonderful, we can find the value in ourselves and our community.
