During the holidays and all year long, tens of thousands of people visit the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center to celebrate, to heal, to dream and to organize.
Some who come here have yet to vote in their first election. Others cast their first vote for Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Some arrive seeking answers. Some to help. Some are rich. Some not. Some laugh. Others don’t. Whatever brings people to the Center, there is one thing they all find when they get here. A home.
