We take pride in being a progressive, inclusive city

Widely known for our inclusive attitude and our progressive spirit, Tempe has always been at the forefront of diversity, equity and inclusion. More than a welcoming destination, Tempe has earned a score of 100% (the highest possible) on the HRC Municipal Equality Index since 2014. As an LGBTQ+ visitor, we look forward to sharing our flair for all things festive with you — from Pride events to Broadway shows and arts festivals to drag performances, you’ll find a spectrum of events that celebrate diversity and invite you to experience our community.
