Athens Area Resources
Athens and Appalachian Queertasticness
The City of Athens, Athens County, and SE Ohio are home to various LGBTQ+ inclusive resources. This is not an exhaustive list and is a starting point for connecting with the rainbow awesomeness in our area.
If you would like to be listed send an email with responses to the following questions:
- What type of organization are you (medical, dental, mental health, legal, food, retail, other, etc)?
- Do you provide any services specific to the LGBTQ+ community; if so, what are they?
- How would you rate your knowledge of the LGBTQ+ community (very good, good, average, some, little to no)? Please explain.
- Are you willing to provide information and/or host activities such as workshops, discussions, dances, etc that are specific to or inclusive of LGBTQ+ people?
