What We Do

Equality Florida is the largest civil rights organization dedicated to securing full equality for Florida’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community. We're changing Florida through lobbying, grassroots organizing, education, and coalition building — so that no one suffers harassment or discrimination on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity or expression. Our key areas of work include:

Public Policy & Community Organizing: As the only LGBTQ organization with a full-time presence in the State Capitol, we work to educate Floridians on the benefits of pro-equality bills and policies and the dangers of anti-LGBTQ legislation.
Safe & Healthy Schools and Parenting with Pride: We work closely with districts in implementing comprehensive best practices and policies to support and affirm LGBTQ students in Florida’s 3-million-student school system. We also provide parents with the resources they need to support their LGBTQ children.
Transgender Community Advocacy & Education: We’re the leading voice in representing and supporting Florida’s transgender community through diversity training, advocacy, and resource provisions.
HIV Advocacy & Education: Our goal is to curb the rate of new HIV transmissions in Florida and end HIV stigma through statewide public education campaigns and policy work designed to modernize HIV-specific laws.
Equality Means Business: To improve Florida’s reputation as a welcoming place to live, work, and visit, we highlight pro-equality businesses that have adopted comprehensive nondiscrimination policies and have demonstrated their commitment to valuing and proactively including all employees.
Healthcare Equity: We partner with healthcare and mental health facilities to ensure they provide the compassion and sensitivity that LGBTQ patients deserve by advocating for inclusive policies and increasing cultural competence among healthcare providers.
Reproductive Rights: Equality Florida has been a pro-choice organization since our founding – we know that these fights are deeply intertwined. We're a proud founding partner of Floridians Protecting Freedom and serve on the statewide advisory board.

Since our founding in 1997, we’ve become one of the largest statewide LGBTQ groups in the country with more than 300,000 supporters, more than 1,000 volunteers, and staff located in major Florida cities to organize and support our work.

What We Do

The Center for Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Florida Atlantic University supports faculty, students, and programming across the interdisciplinary fields of womens' studies, gender studies, LGBTQ studies, sexuality studies, and more. Graduate and undergraduate take classes with nationally and internationally known faculty in fields such as Anthropology, Art History, English, Criminal Justice, Communication, History, Languages and Linguistics, Literature, Nursing, Political Science, Sociology, and of course, Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGSS). Public programming and events fulfill the field's foundational commitment to praxis, or the unification of theory and practice.

The Center for Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies offers a Master's of Arts degree, a graduate certificate, and an undergraduate minor. Additionally, doctoral students in the Comparative Studies programs can elect to earn a Master's of Arts degree in WGSS en passant as they work toward their PhD.

Graduates with experience in WGSS are highly sought after in a wide variety of professions, and our alumni work in law, education, communications, media, healthcare, advocacy, politics, technology, and business. Learn more about Careers in WGSS .

The Womens' Studies Center at Florida Atlantic University was founded in 1986, with approval for a change of name to the Center for Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in 2009. During the past three decades, we have grown in numbers, visibility, and influence on campus. In addition to their formal academic training, students enjoy opportunities to work on faculty members' research, assist in teaching and curriculum development, contribute to the Center's newsletter, participate in the Feminist Graduate Student Association, collaborate with the Women and Gender Equity Resource Center as part of OwlsCare, and take part in activities on campus and in the community.
