Mission Statement

The purpose of the event is to help heal the image

of Cincinnati in the National LGBT Community.

Although Article XII has been repealed, Cincinnati

is still viewed by other cities as homophobic and

unwelcoming to the GLBT Community.

On any given weekend a large portion of our city's

own community leave for the nearby cities of

Columbus, Louisville, Dayton, Indianapolis and Lexington.

The Greater Cincinnati Gay Chamber of Commerce

believes that by hosting Equinox, we can show

the changing climate towards the gay and lesbian community in Cincinnati,

therefore improving the attitudes of our own community,

as well as, show other cities that times have changed in

Cincinnati and we welcome them with open arms, as our

city is a great place to shop, play and live.

Due to the overwhelming success of Equinox 2009,

The Greater Cincinnati Gay Chamber of Commerce

was asked to take over management of

Cincinnati's Gay Pride Festivities.

In 2010, Equinox will become Cincinnati's Gay Pride.
