Are you a friend of Dorothy?

LGBTQ2s+ allies right in your own backyard.

This is Dorothy’s List

Here, you’ll find a collective of businesses and organizations in South Dakota that proudly support LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit folks year-round. Whether it’s a doctor, a rental, or someone to make your wedding cake, you’ll find ‘em here.

Friends of Dorothy do more than slap a rainbow on some over-priced gear in June. They are committed to fighting for true equality. These folks also know how to treat their employees and ensure every customer feels welcome. Our Friends go above and beyond what’s expected of an ally.

Why? There’s no place like South Dakota and it should feel like home to everyone. No need to click your heels and wish you were anywhere else.
