WELCOME to Oklahomans for Equality

Our mission – Oklahomans for Equality (OkEq) seeks equal rights for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) individuals and families through advocacy, education, programs, alliances, and the operation of the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center.

Serving LGBT Oklahomans and their allies since 1980, Oklahomans for Equality is home to a diverse, vibrant, and engaged community of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons, knowledgeable staff, and dedicated volunteers.

The Dennis R. Neill Equality Center, our 18,000 square foot home located at the corner of 4th and Kenosha in downtown Tulsa, is operated by Oklahomans for Equality. The Equality Center exists to connect and empower the LGBT and allied community and proudly serves as the second largest LGBT community center in the region.

The Equality Center offers a variety of programs including:

• The annual Tulsa Pride each June, expanding to two weeks of festivities in 2008
  
• The annual Equality Gala, the black tie event of the year
  
• Free, anonymous 20-minute HIV testing through H.O.P.E.
• Support and discussion groups like Gender Outreach and Faith in Crisis
• Wellness programs like Buddhist meditation and yoga
