DESCRIPTION:
The Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs (LGBT) is a permanent, cabinet-level office within the Executive Office of the Mayor established by statute in 2006 to address the important concerns of the District's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents. From 2004 to 2006, the office operated under Mayor's Order 2004-148. Prior to 2004, a special assistant to the Mayor for LGBT issues provided constituent services and community outreach. Today, the Office of LGBT Affairs places DC among a select group of cities including Boston, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles with offices or senior officials dedicated to the LGBT community.
