Who We Are
Since 1979, we've been the voice and engine behind LGBTQ+ business success in Los Angeles — turning community into commerce, and visibility into economic power.
We exist so that no LGBTQ+ entrepreneur in Los Angeles has to build alone. Through certification, connection, and relentless advocacy, we turn our community’s talent into contracts, capital, and lasting economic power.
Where We’re Headed
We’re building an LA where an LGBTQ+ business owner never hits a closed door — where our identity is an asset in the room, our companies scale without compromise, and the next generation inherits a marketplace that was built with them in mind.
Our Story So Far
Four decades of turning visibility into economic power for LA’s LGBTQ+ business community
The Beginning
A small group of gay business owners gathered in LA to do what no one else was doing — create a table where LGBTQ+ commerce belonged. The LA Gay Business Association was born.
