New York, NY. The Center invites the community to a viewing party of the February 11th episode of Real World Brooklyn Season 21. The Center will host Real World: Brooklyn cast members Katelynn, Scott, and Baya, and watch the first episode of the season featuring the Center on Thursday February 11, 2009 at XES. The Center opened its doors and welcomed cast members JD, Katelynn and Sarah as interns in the Center’s Cultural Programs Department. All three cast members chose to support the Center and make a difference in the New York LGBT community.

One of the biggest stars on this season of the “Real World” is your community center! At this event attendees can purchase special Real World discounted Center memberships, enjoy drink specials, watch the episode and mingle with three of the Real World cast – Katelynn, Baya and Scott.
