What makes a business inclusive on Inclusivity.org?
Every listing shows why it is here, with a source you can check: the owner's own statement, a public listing such as a chamber directory, or a recognized certification. Some are owned by the communities they serve and some are allies who welcome everyone. We never list someone's identity without a source.
Where can I find LGBTQ+ support near me?
Community centers, support groups and advocacy organizations are listed here. Many run drop-in hours and online groups, so check the schedule before you go.
Is there help if I am in crisis?
In the US you can call or text 988 at any time for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Many local centers also keep lists of affirming counselors.
Is it free to be listed?
Yes. A basic listing is free, and owners can claim and update theirs at any time. Featured and Enhanced listings get more room on the page, and being listed never depends on them.
