Fort Worth may have earned the nickname "Where the West begins," but it can also be said that our Southern hospitality re-brands us as "where the welcome never ends." It's our unmistakable mix of Western authenticity blended with one of the most vibrant cultural scenes in North Texas that makes Fort Worth a destination spot for international visitors and a welcoming place for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) travelers.
With a thriving nightlife scene, a rich mixture of community organizations and events with deep roots, an unparalleled selection of museums and galleries and dining options for the most discerning palettes, Fort Worth is the perfect vacation spot for LGBT visitors to slip on their boots and kick up some fun.
As a city, we've been consistently ahead of the curve in citizen equality, making history as the second city in Texas to add sexual orientation to its non-discrimination policy. Recently, Fort Worth has made headlines with its unprecedented move to ensure Cowtown's inclusive spirit, including the recent addition of "transgender, gender identity and gender expression" to our anti-discrimination policy, major strides in education and workplace diversity education and the creation of a Diversity Task Force to implement changes and facilitate harmonious relationships among Fort Worth's diverse populations.
The city has also earned a national reputation for being a welcoming home to gay and lesbian families. A recent UCLA study based on U.S. Census data from 2006 named Fort Worth the metropolitan area with the fifth highest rate of same-sex couples raising children in the country.
