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.
OkEq is the official Community Partner of the True Colors Tour!
The Equality Center offers a variety of programs including:

Oklahomans for Equality, in partnership with OU-Tulsa, is conducting a survey to determine what services and programs are most needed in the LGBT community. Please, take a 15-20 minutes to complete the survey. Your input is completely anonymous and will be used by the leadership in OkEq to develop programs to better meet your needs and interests.
To learn about what we've been up to since our grand opening in 2007, visit our achievements page. As you explore this site, we hope you’ll find it to be the premier source for reliable and up-to-date information and resources on LGBT issues in Northeast Oklahoma. Visit often, discover who we are, what we do, and why we are here – and join us.
