Established in 1983, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center has grown to become the largest LGBT multi-service organization on the East Coast and second largest LGBT community center in the world.

Every week, 6,000 people visit the Center, and more than 300 groups meet here. In addition, our myriad meeting rooms are booked months in advance, indicating the community is as hungry as ever for a place to call its own.

We provide groundbreaking social service, public policy, educational and cultural/recreational programs. We also serve as an incubator for grassroots groups that meet here. Indeed, we were the birthplace of organizations such as the AIDS activist group ACT UP and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), the principal organization combating homophobia and stereotyping of gays in the media.

Center Media is a program at the Center that produces a monthly TV show in a newsmagazine format called Out at the Center. The show is produced entirely by volunteers and can be viewed on the Center's website at: http://www.gaycenter.org/out. There are several segments where filmmakers have been interviewed and the Center Media team has also dabbled in filmracing a couple of times: http://www.luckybreakthemovie.com
