Patronize the Businesses that Support our Community.Â
Use the North Texas LGBTQ+ Chamber Directory with Confidence.
Choosing where you spend your money is powerful. By using the North Texas 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 call this "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 Ally community in the region.

ABOUT BADGE OF PRIDE
Badge Of Pride is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Dallas, Texas with the mission to activate artifacts from LGBTQ+ history to inform, enrich and engage the power of the contemporary Queer experience.
Founded in 2022, Badge Of Pride emerged from a pressing need to counter relentless attacks on the LGBTQ+ community by sharing Queer history as a means to spark dialogue and connection. Built upon a foundation of a large collection of artifacts amassed over three decades, our aim is to honor and amplify the diverse and powerful narratives of the LGBTQ+ community, ensuring they endure and inspire future generations. We firmly believe that by showcasing Queer history, we encourage activism, challenge stereotypes, promote inclusivity, and drive change.
BADGE OF PRIDE: FROM SILENCE...TO CELEBRATION!
We are currently curating an exhibition that will be on view at the Irving Archives & Museum, June 06 - September 28, 2025. Join us for a journey through more than a century of LGBTQ+ history, with the role of North Texas highlighted in the arc of our community's story. When we open, it will be one of the largest artifact-centered exhibitions on LGBTQ+ history ever seen in the state of Texas!
ABOUT THE COLLECTION
