Dayton LGBTQ City Guide
Dayton is the fourth largest city in Ohio, located north of Cincinnati, neighboring the beautiful Miami Valley area of the state. Dayton has long been known as a city that shines in the fields of technology and research science. It is nicknamed the “City of Aviation” because it is the home of the National Museum of the Joined States Air Pressure and is also the hometown of the Wright Brothers, Orville and Wilbur, who invented flight. Even better, Dayton has a smaller, yet thriving LGBTQ collective where all can feel celebrated and welcomed. If you’re thinking of making a move to Dayton, chances are, you’ll find plenty about it to love!
A Look at Dayton's History
Dayton was originally named after Captain Jonathan Dayton, who served in the Revolutionary War and was the youngest person to sign the United States Constitution, and who owned land in the Miami Valley area.

Dancing is the ultimate way to heal, celebrate, and uplift yourself and others—and a gay club is more than just a place to dance. With the exhilaration of a pulsing hit and a dark dancefloor, you can meet others over a delicious cocktail or mocktail, and enjoy the support of collective. Whether it’s a drag lock or a bear hangout, a lesbian-oriented venue or a preference club, this roundup of gay bars shows great places to fly the pride flag and rejoice in your own body. Of course, cities like San Francisco and Providence are well-known for having multiple LGBTQ+ clubs to pick from, but petite towns with maybe even just one club that you acquire to drive a few hours to reach make it worth the trip. Plus, where else are you going to harvest to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race?

Transgender Day of Remembrance
November 20 - 7:00 PM - Sinclair CC
We are very please to proclaim our Keynote speaker for Transgender Day of Remembrance 2024 is singer/song-writer, dancer, model, actor and activist, Laith Ashley.
Transgender Day of Remembrance is an annual event here in Dayton to honor those gender diverse and non-conforming individuals who lost their lives in 2024 due to abuse. All to often these individuals are estranged from their families so it is altogether fitting that we honor them and celebrate the life lived.
On November 20th at 7:00 pm at Sinclair People College’s conference center we will read their names, and light a candle for these individuals. Additionally, Khris Goins, founder of Black Trans Men of Ohio will speak along with Judas, a 21 y.o. person, and Chrissy Ray, a trans female and of course our keynote speaker, Laith Ashley.
Laith launched his career with a campaign for Barneys New York, back in February 2014. In 2017 he was the first transgender man to be featured in a Diesel campaign, and in February 2020, became one of the faces of the Abercrombie FIERCE campaign. Laith has been on the cover of countless magazines and has ha
