The Center has partnered with Gilbert Baker, the Rainbow Flag’s creator, as well as many elected officials and other organizations to bring together our community and unfurl a new 20 foot long flag that will drape the building. More than 1,000 young people come through our doors annually searching for acceptance and a place where they feel comfortable expressing their true selves.Ĭowardly acts of hateful speech must be responded to with acts of courage and unity.
The Center is visited over 300,000 times every year by people in search of support, safety and transformation. The Center is a beacon of safety and hope for LGBT New Yorkers and our building stands as an emblem of our community’s presence in the city.
