About Us

Equality Rochester (EROC) is a grassroots organization launched in 2009 in Rochester NY to advocate for full LGBT equality. EROC aligns with Marriage Equality New York in pursuing civil marriage access for same-sex couples at the state level, believing the right to marry is the "brass ring" insuring the bulk of civil rights equity. EROC also collaborates with and supports other local, state and national LGBT organizations operating on behalf of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities.
