Los Angeles LGBT Center

The Los Angeles LGBT Center was established in 1969 to support the rights of LGBT individuals and families. Today, the Center provides comprehensive services for more LGBT people than any other LGBT institution in the world. Its programs include health services such as medical, sexual health, and mental health care, as well as social and housing services addressing issues such as homelessness, immigration status, and legal challenges. Beyond these direct services, the Los Angeles LGBT Center presents performances and exhibitions that celebrate the diversity of its community, and hosts activities and meetings for folks to meet and connect. The Center also engages in extensive leadership training for social service providers, government agencies, caregivers, and law enforcement officers across California, and offers national organizing and movement building and policy advocacy services. The Los Angeles LGBT Center's work is driven by a single powerful vision: a world in which LGBT people thrive as healthy, equal, and complete members of society.
