Northwest Arkansas Equality

Northwest Arkansas Equality is the region's longest-running LGBTQ+ nonprofit, serving Rogers, Bentonville, Springdale and Fayetteville since 2006. It operates the Arthur Beeghly LGBTQ Resource Center in downtown Fayetteville, offering free HIV and STI testing, peer support and social groups, advocacy, and a community lending library. The organization also produces Northwest Arkansas Pride, the largest Pride celebration in Arkansas, held each June along Dickson Street. Rogers residents and visitors looking for community connections, resources, or ways to get involved across the wider Northwest Arkansas area are pointed here as the main regional hub.
