Dennis R. Neill Equality Center

Owned and operated by Oklahomans for Equality, the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center serves the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender (LGBT) and allied community. It is a visible reminder to all Oklahomans of the important role LGBT individuals, families and friends play in our state. Established in 1995, the Equality Center (formerly the Tulsa GLBT Community Center) is now one of the largest LGBT Centers in the region.

Purchased in October of 2005 after an eight-year capital campaign, the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center underwent a completely overhaul through over 7000 hours of volunteer-led renovations, opening in February of 2007. Our beautiful 18,000 square foot facility now represents the design work of a team of professional designers. Featuring an event center, a full-service lending library, a wellness center and more, the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center is a visible presence of LGBT equality in Oklahoma.
