Serving the LGBTQ+ residents of Philadelphia through advocacy and inclusion.

Office of LGBTQ+ Affairs

What we do

The Office of LGBTQ+ Affairs works to foster equitable working and living conditions for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual individuals, and additional members of the LGBTQ+ community. The office advocates for LGBTQ+ issues across all areas of City government.

Created in 2008 by mayoral executive order, the Office of LGBTQ+ Affairs became a permanent part of the City’s charter in 2015. The office aims to:

  • Develop City policy regarding civil rights issues affecting LGBTQ+ people.
  • Help enact policies and programs to meet the City’s diversity, equity, inclusion goals.
  • Coordinate among City departments, agencies, and offices to improve LGBTQ+ access to services, and to promote equity and safety for LGBTQ+ people.
  • Support the growth and development of the City’s LGBTQ+ communities and serve as a liaison between the area’s LGBTQ+ communities and the City.
  • Provide education about the needs of the LGBTQ+ community.

You can learn more about our key partnerships with City and community organizations.
