exaequo is the LGBT centre for Reims, an association running since 1996 out of premises on rue du Jard, a few streets south of the cathedral. It is open to lesbian, gay, bi and trans people and to their friends, and it belongs to the Federation LGBTI+.
The premises double as an associative bar, which is the part a visitor is most likely to want. It is a room to sit and talk in rather than a nightlife venue, and it is sometimes given over to a themed evening such as karaoke.
Around the bar the association runs discussion groups, a lending library, a listening line and support for people who have been attacked, and it goes into schools with the rectorate's accreditation. It organises the city's Marche des Fiertes and the Bisqueers Roses festival.
