HRC envisions an America where lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are ensured equality and embraced as full members of the American family at home, at work and in every community.

Equality NC is a statewide group dedicated to securing equal rights and justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. We work toward that goal by effectively lobbying the North Carolina General Assembly, executive branch, and local governments on issues like inclusive anti-bullying policies, employment discrimination, hate violence, privacy rights, sexuality education, adoption, domestic partnership, HIV/AIDS, and more. We also work to engage North Carolinians with educational programming and outreach efforts.

Shades of Pride's mission is to celebrate and honor the diversity of the African American LGBTQ community in the Triangle through events open to all. Whether you're visiting for business or pleasure, you'll sense the fun and lively vibe that makes Raleigh a one-of-a-kind capital and a cultural center—no matter what culture you come from. Endless hot spots, gay and lesbian nightspots, historical treasures and incredible area-wide celebrations.

The Triangle Gay Men's Chorus provides a venue for gay and gay-affirming individuals to develop their interests and display their musical talents in a professional manner. The goals are to strengthen the spirit and open presence of the gay community and to provide to the public-at-large a positive image of this community.

The mission of the NC State GLBT Center serves the mission of NC State University by creating, maintaining, and strengthening an inclusive and safe campus environment for people of all sexualities, gender identities, and gender expressions. This is accomplished through awareness and educational programs, individual consultation and referral, student organization advisement, advocacy, ally support and development, and community outreach on and off campus. The Center supports success by working to create a campus that is both diverse and inclusive and conducts ongoing assessment to monitor its progress in this regard.
