Cleveland's LGBTQ+ Culture

LGBTQ+ in The Land

In Cleveland, we’re not worried about your sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or who you love. You see, everyone is welcome and we encourage you to come as you are. Although we boast having the largest Pride on record, we celebrate all year long by supporting LGBTQ+ owned businesses, hosting welcoming and inclusive events, and having the most entertaining drag scenes you will ever see.

While you're here, head to the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland for a wealth of invaluable programming and resources for the community.

Welcome to The Land that loves you no matter what.

Pride in the CLE

One of the things that makes Cleveland such a great place to be is its great diversity of people, whether it be of ethnic background or sexual orientation. To that end, Cleveland Pride, Inc. and the LGBT Cleveland Community Center join for an annual event celebrating our city’s vibrant LGBTQ+ community – Pride in the CLE.

Pride in the CLE's signature event is a march that aims to show off our community's strength and unity. Visitors are encouraged to come to the march being their authentic selves. Following the kick-off march, the event turns into a bustling all-day festival featuring a diverse array of vendors - areas of interest include healthcare, activism, social groups and nonprofits - as well as a robust slate of music, entertainment and DJs.

Cleveland LGBTQ+ Insider Guide

Often, in the LGBTQ+ community, our family isn’t the one we’re born into but the one we choose.

Thankfully, Cleveland has plenty of organizations to help with that, from dozens of open and affirming churches to a community center that’s been in operation for more than 40 years, not to mention LGBTQ+-owned restaurants, retail and nightlife.

Whether you’re here for a weekend or moving here for a lifetime, our LGBTQ+ Guide is an invaluable resource to find The Land that makes you feel at home.
