Hello Friends! We’re very excited to announce we’ll be having our first in-person event celebrating pride this month! We’re having a youth pride pop up at The LGBTQ Center on May 21st from 4 to 7pm. There will be snacks, activities, and take-home trinkets for y’all to enjoy. One of the main goals we have for this event, called "From Long Beach with Love," is to send our love and support to trans youth in states that are facing recent anti-trans legislation. There will be a le...tter writing station for y’all to show your support to teens at other centers. Donations are also welcome. Please be aware that masks and temperature checks will be required at the event. If you’re feeling sick or having covid-like symptoms, we ask that you stay home to protect yourself and others. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Hi friends!We’re excited to announce that the center will be creating a community e-zine centered on the theme of connection. We’d love for you to send in art pieces to put in the zine! Submission deadline on May 31st! Looking forward to all your wonderful art! (This post has been updated with the new deadline)

This month’s group topics!We’d love to see y’all!

Join us for some relaxed creative art times each Wednesday led by CSULB students!

The marketing of cyberpunk2077 touted plenty of LGBTQ representation and romance options, but for many queer folx, the inclusivity feels shallow and underwhelming in the actual game. How do y’all feel about #LGBTQ representation in video games? Is it important? Comment below!

#Repost @centerlb Marches and parades do not define our authenticity, tenacity, and resiliency as LGBTQ people. On this 50th anniversary of Pride celebrations worldwide I am thinking about the Stonewall Riots in 1969 where our community courageously, publicly, and forcefully resisted police brutality and harassment through six days of protest. So today, while we aren’t marching together in the Pride parade, we are still Proud at Home. This weekend, which would have been ...Long Beach’s annual Pride weekend, all of us at The LGBTQ Center Long Beach are officially Proud at Home. Pride is protest. Pride is community. Pride is solidarity. Pride is intersectional (so don’t forget to demonstrate your solidarity with racial justice, feminist, immigrant rights, and labor communities too). And Pride is the culmination of years of collective resistance to secure a safer, more affirming, and more equitable world for all LGBTQ people. We invite you to be Proud at Home too. See more
