About Us
We are 200 LGBTQ people working in communications, marketing, digital, advertising and more in the Nation's Capitol. We are the first and only professional networking organization for LGBTQ communications professionals in Washington, D.C.
We want to boost the engagement of LGBTQ communicators in the professional life of Washington, D.C.

We also share job leads, provide insight and connections and informal mentorship.

EVENTS
In the past year, we've hosted a series of virtual events highlighting key communications challenges, current events, career development and more. Our most recent event, combined with RENEWPR's Common Sense Conversations series, focused on the experiences of out corporate communications professionals and was timed to coincide with Pride 2021. Previous events included one focused on the 2020 election results (a joint event with the DC chapter of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association) and one focused on election predictions in advance of the 2020 election. Photos of panelists for that event and several others are included below. Prior to the pandemic, we hosted in-person events at Mission Dupont, Tico, Hawthorne and Pitchers/ALOHO and photos from those locations are also included below.
