Love and equality is for everyone!
The Erie region celebrates and supports the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, and Intersexed and Ally/Asexual (LGBTQIA+) community.
Whether you identify as LGBTQIA+ or are an ally, ALL are welcome!
In Erie, we strive to be a welcoming, equitable, inclusive community where we celebrate our rich diversity of cultures. Everyone has their own individual set of talents, skills, and perspectives. We believe that the color of your skin, the language you speak, the part of the world you come from, the faith you practice, your customs, your sexual orientation, and your gender preference, all make you the unique person you are and that each and every person brings value to our community.
Plan a trip to Erie Pennsylvania and experience a relaxing, stress-free getaway filled with love and acceptance.
We are so proud to welcome you to our shores!

Supporting your LGBTQIA+ family and friends is so much more than rainbow flags and colorful parades. It is also about recognizing and remembering the struggles that the LGBTQIA+ community have faced to achieve equal justice and opportunities. There are a number of local, regional and national organizations that advocate and provide a variety of services. These groups do everything from fighting for LGBTQIA+ rights and offering health services, to providing educational programs and managing emergency helplines.
