Membership

Equality begins within all of us. In our own way, each of us helps to advance the LGBT movement. There are many opportunities to support the Center, Ohio's oldest and most prominent LGBT organization; becoming a member is the first step. The benefits to being a member are detailed within this pamphlet, but the ultimate reward is knowing that your membership helps us gain true social justice in our society. All memberships are good for one year and can be renewed at the same level or higher. Thank you for your interest in making Northeast Ohio a region free of homophobia and gender oppression by supporting the Center!
