About Us
Our Mission
The purpose of the House of Pink Lady of Atlanta (HOPLA) is to provide an open, safe, inclusive space and community events that are committed to challenging sexism, genderism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia and heterosexism. We recognize that this work requires a continued process of understanding and addressing all forms of oppression and not just focusing on one in particular. We are committed to this process both in our work and in the structure of the organization itself. HOPLA promotes education about all sexes, genders and sexualities, as well as promoting for self-exploration of these identities. HOPLA is a dynamic, responsive and collaborative organization that serves the Atlanta metropolitan area and the surrounding region by providing a growing spectrum of programs, resources, outreach and advocacy. Inherent in this mission are the values of respect, pride and unity.
