About LGBT Equality Alliance
In January 2015, current board President, Rachel Stevenson, sought to revive the LGBTQA social scene that once thrived in Phoenixville, PA. This occurred in the form of monthly afternoon “tea dances”. Within three months, it was apparent that these “tea dances” were more than just monthly social events. Realizing there were few services for the LGBTQA Community in Chester County, and using the energy, momentum, and support from three successful tea dances, the 501(c)3 non-profit, LGBTea Dances was born on March 26, 2015. Following continued growth and expansion, the organization changed its name to LGBT Equality Alliance on July 15, 2016, to better position itself in the marketplace as a leading non-profit organization supporting mroe than just social events.
LGBT Equality Alliance’s vision and mission is to create and sustain a safe and supportive environment for the Chester County LGBTQ+ community. The organization does so by fostering the expansion of Chester County LGBTQ+ community initiatives by partnering with supportive local organizations in fundraising, education, and outreach activities.
