Connecting community with affirming businesses

The LOFT LGBTQ+ Community Center is proud to partner with a network of businesses and organizations that are not only LGBTQ+ friendly, but also deeply committed to supporting our community. These partners understand that their visible allyship makes a real difference, and they’ve chosen to stand with us through their membership in the LOFT Business Partners Program.

By supporting The LOFT, they demonstrate that equality, inclusion, and respect are not just words—but guiding values. And the LGBTQ+ community notices. We value their recognition, we appreciate their partnership, and we repay it with something businesses cherish most: loyal customers who return again and again.

Click through the categories to find LGBTQ+ affirming businesses and organizations ready to welcome you with respect, professionalism, and pride.
