What makes Stonewall Columbus special

The organisation was founded in 1981 as Stonewall Union and since 2019 has worked from a centre of around 1,400 square metres. The programme ranges from peer groups and testing to culture. ‘Trans Talk Tuesday’ and ‘Stonewall After Dark’ with health services run regularly. In 2026 Stonewall Columbus celebrates its 45th birthday.

Stonewall After Dark runs on Tuesdays 4:30–9 pm and Wednesdays 2–7 pm, and Trans Talk Tuesday also meets on Tuesdays. In June Stonewall organises Columbus Pride, which according to Out x Out draws more than 700,000 people to the Short North.
