“I think Phoenix is more welcoming than outsiders expect, and we have amazing places and destinations. “ amazing and diverse,” says Deanna Jordan, executive director of the GPECC. Not just in 2021, but for nine consecutive years. For example, in 2020, the Greater Phoenix Equality Chamber of Commerce (GPECC) celebrated its 40th anniversary - making it among the oldest organizations of its kind in the United States.įurther, Phoenix has earned a score of 100 - the highest score possible - on the Human Rights Campaign's Municipal Equality Index Scorecard. When it comes to those who have not yet visited Phoenix, one of our best-kept secrets is the prominence and longevity of the city's LGBTQ+ business community.
