LGBTQ+ rights are under attack across our country. Act now to help ensure that New York remains a state for all people. 

Sign the Petition Today: Support LGBTQ+ Justice in New York

Increasingly, our communities must stand together to defend so many hard-won gains in our public spaces and in our schools. In New York State, we have the opportunity to build on our progressive history, and show that we stand with LGBTQ+ youth!

In state houses from Texas to Oklahoma to Tennessee, and even in the national Congress, the volume of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and legislation continues on a dangerous climb. In our state, we must help define the future of LGBTQ+ rights by passing proactive legislation that protects LGBTQ+ young people, seniors, and our community at large

By signing our petition, learning about our 2023 People’s Platform, and talking about these issues with your community, you are helping to build a future that has space for all of us! 

Thanks for all you do,

​​Trevon Mayers
Senior Director of Advocacy & Community Engagement

 
 

Your Chance to Support the Changemakers

As anti-trans and anti-drag legislation is introduced across the country, it is crucial that New York’s LGBT Community Center remains a space of safety and support. To fuel these efforts, our community comes together at Center Dinner, our annual gala to raise critical funds and uphold LGBTQ+ rights, dignity, and opportunity.

This year’s Center Dinner honorees and guests include writer and performance artist Alok Vaid-Menon; producer and philanthropist Ted Snowdon; The Keith Haring Foundation; “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 9 winner Sasha Velour; and model, author, and actress Dominique Jackson. Join us in celebrating and protecting our community.

Thank you!

Sending a heartfelt thank you to all who joined us on Sunday, standing together in community and welcoming Drag Story Hour NYC to The Center. Your presence helped to ensure that LGBTQ+ families were able to experience healing, joy, and celebration in the face of attacks. You helped to make certain that our voices are louder than our opposition, and together we defended ourselves, our families, and our place in this world. We couldn't have done it without you.
