Support LGBTQ+ Inclusive Businesses and Organizations Through the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce Member Directory

Choosing where you spend your money is powerful. By using the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce Member Directory, you can directly support businesses and organizations that are not only inclusive but also actively advocate for and uplift the LGBTQ+ community.

At the Chamber, we refer to this as "intentional spending" when you intentionally choose to spend your dollars with businesses and organizations that share your values of diversity, equity, and inclusion and support the LGBTQ+ community. Plus, spending dollars with LGBTQ+ supportive businesses means you are helping to drive economic opportunity for the LGBTQ+ and Allied community in the region.
