Cambridge LGBTQ+ Commission
About
The Cambridge LGBTQ+ Commission advocates for a culture of respect and monitors progress toward equality for all people with regard to sexual orientation and gender identity. It promotes policies and practices that support the health, welfare and safety of people who live, visit or work in Cambridge, taking into account sexual orientation as well as gender identity and expression. Members of the public are welcome at its monthly meetings.
The commission produces reports on issues such as LGBTQ+ friendly housing, inclusive out-of-school programs for LGBTQ+ youth and inclusivity for LGBT seniors in Cambridge senior housing. It also maintains a queer-owned business directory and shares resources on legal protections for LGBTQ+ families. For people changing their legal name, it points to guidance and financial assistance from the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition.
