Government agency

Office of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs. 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 221. Washington, DC 20004 (202) 727-9493.

The office was established in 2006 by the government to "provide constituent services and information to the GLBT communities through community outreach, public education activities and to advise the Mayor and the DC Government on the needs of the GLBT residents." While the office's Web site is not much of a resource, it does provide information on obtaining records, reports, literature and informational brochures concerning GLBT rights. Washington has one of the most prevalent GLBT communities in the country, and printed resources offered by this office are extensive. The newsroom offers updates on recent events and documents, as well as contact information for the Office's director.
