LGBT Community Center, NYC Review

The LGBT center leaves much to be desired, mainly in their values and lack of commitment to the most marginalized folks in the LGBT community.

I had wonderful help in that place. Immigration group support was fun and so helpful. They also provide career counseling. I especially enjoy the barbecues in Williamsburg and game evenings. it s a really awesome community which supports you and offers valuable resources.

Tried for the second time in 3 days to get help and was turned away again. They don't care. Try somewhere else.

A safe space of ALL lgbtq folks young and old. Whether you need self help groups, 12 step meeting, lgbt friendly organizations, counseling hiv assistance, dances events SAGE lgbt youth library space. No room for all the services. A wonderful place to be.

fer de artwerk alone, Keith Haring, Nancy Spero, George Whitman, etc

Must see on the kieth herring. Unbelievable kind people nice place to visit.

LGBTQ Friendly and Positive Space

Attended an author reading here who experienced in his youth, racism and homophobia from schoolmates and neighbours, but in maturity his attitude and tone was positive supported by a packed room of fans. The space had a stage with seats and bright lights allowing everyone a good clear view of author and interviewer. Downstairs an information lobby and cafe were open to the public.

Note: two mixed gender washrooms were an intriguing experience and maybe mixed bath houses will follow this equality trend?

I went to the LGBT center in the state of New York the city in the area of Manhattan. This is my home state and city and area in the city. When I went to the center at first people looked at me as if they didn't know who I was and had a problem with me being there. Both the people that came there and the people that work there were very rude to me. The people who came there with stick their nose in my conversations and make comments and tell me what to talk about. they have a cafe in the center and they're more expensive than Starbucks. Pretty much people who are high class can afford to buy a decent amount from their Cafe. One time I saw a guy that works there and he was attractive. I only look at him for a minute and he got angry and threw a fit. He acted as if I did the worst thing in the world and was a totally bad. He could have just simply told me he wasn't interested. A lot of people who come to the center and work there would make comments that they don't like the look on my face. I have a natural angry look and they don't like me because of that. one day one of the staff at the calf decided to commit defamation of character against me. Now everywhere I go people have heard of me. I have been harassed and threatened and even assaulted and even told some people want to kill me. if this place was truly out to help their own community they would not have done that to me. The only out to get as much money and power as they can. Thank you for destroying my life forever on social media I appreciate it.

Great inclusive environment with a cafe and some lecture halls.

A discovery. A quiet center in the Chelsea neighborhood. He has coffee and computers. Even a small patio.

The Center is the heart of LGBTQ New York. Groups, events, politics, culture and entertainment all come together here.

I had a tour there with my German scout group. The people are very friendly and helpful. Thank you for the interesting experience.

This place has been a long-time community resource and pride since I was a teenager. I m now approaching my 40 s and I still find myself being drawn to The Center for everything as diverse as activism to healthcare.

Worst and rude Staff. Don't care about anybody's needs. Especially the Youth Program, They don't help anybody and they only care about what they think its "right" not what's actually right.

The people were very comforting and open.we did a sip and paint,it was fun!

Wonderful people, safe spaces, neutral bathrooms. A great resource in NYC for the LGBTQ+ community.

This is the most welcoming space I've ever been in in my life. The wealth of services and events spanning many spectrums cement The Center as the heart of the community. If you're hesitating, it's okay. You'll feel much better when you come in. <3

This is a beautiful place, they provided me with the best resources to be creative and find the most amazing group of friends and jobs. I will always be thankful and will aways love this place.

It is a great place to find yourself, they are doing a great job

How about you let anyone that s part of the LGBT community speak instead of silencing their voices. Change your name to the Liberal LGBT Center since apparently not everyone is accepted in.

Please help looking for my misshusband...Ali w Penahe is 36 please contact me via fb or call impd Indianapolis metropolitan police department..

I go there separate from my studies, but on this occasion I needed to talk to one of the staff to find out about the community centers challenges and impact. The first visit I was given business cards, but never got a reply from them. The second visit I was told that the staff normally put talking to reporters, and or students at the bottom of the to-do list. So I was given a list of numbers of other community centers to help write my report. Other than never being able to actually speak to any of the case managers, social workers, or even the referral coordinator, this Center is the best spot to unwind, cool off, relax, have a snack, latte, and maybe chat with a stranger. We all need a community so I find this location to be great, but the staff could be more helpful.

This place is ok for the most part. Like with any other place it has its good things and bad things. No place is 100 percent good. The area of the city is also good for lgbt ones for the most part.

Such a closed minded thing to do to cancel the #walkaway campaigns gathering there. The campaign is an outreach program to your community. It's a movement of love and acceptance.

Hoping for similar places of civilization and tolerance to exist in Italy as well, I would like to point out the moving and erotic 'mural bathroom', splendid 'Totentanz' by the unforgettable Keith Haring. Not to be missed if you are an adult!

Good, thanks for allowing the doors open.

You messed up by letting everyone in.

I went to the legal clinic a problem that I had with the my landlord they never help with the problem i will never go to there legal clinic again they are not propresional

Sadly, management is lacking for several reasons. We rent a room for our 501(c)(3) NPO to hold our meetings. We have to force the people using our room before us as they overstay their allotted time and get serious attitude as they vacate the room. We also get shuffled around from the medium-sized room we pay $$$ for to a smaller room without warning nor cause, forcing our members to crowd around. In the hottest days of summer, we get put in a room with no air conditioning at times. On one occasion, there was a water main break in the day, and instead of contacting us about this to tell us that they were closing the entire building, there was a note taped on the door stating this fact -- leaving us with no place to hold our meeting, some people coming from as far as Boston and Pittsburgh! We're still unsure if the billing reflects these corrections/changes. If they are going to rent rooms for other GLBT groups, they need to manage it a LOT BETTER. I've stopped making donations to The Center due to this apparent discrimination.

The fanatical far Reich Christians have an agenda where they intend to infiltrate every aspect of life when it comes to the media, the arts, the music, ect. The lgbt center of NYC condones fanatical far Reich behaviour. Shame on you.

A wonderful place for the community with lots of activities

This organization who 'claims' they support free speech took money from Brandon Straka and the #walkaway group (who I support financially) to rent out their venue for a Gay Conservative discussion. Then they cancelled at the last minute. A big group of hypocrits!

A very cozy and resourceful center for LGBTQ community. A helpdesk, computers for internet, free condoms, and a cafe are available at the lobby. Many rooms are available upstairs for group events throughout the year. The courtyard is a perfect place to sit there to regain peace of mind.

I've been there to admire one of Keith Haring's latest works: Once upon a time.
The mural covers the entire wall of the men's bathroom on the second floor.
The space is open to all and the murales, in perfect condition, can be visited freely.
Making a donation is the least we can do.

no email on the site to contact anyone for help such a shame this place gets to have such a modern facade playing along as if this is an actual place to get help when you need it. guess not when you have skin like mine. maybe if i were lighter the ''waitlist'' would cease to exist.
BEWARE PASSERS BY. mirage.

Friendly, supportive, and a nice comforting atmosphere

Because they treat you with the respect that you deserve

In MY opinion, from my 10 years + Experience I would give this organization 0 stars if I could. If you are white, Hairless skinny/muscular light skin Asian, Muscular Black or Latin Man you will get very far in this organization, If not keep researching for another Organization to fulfill your needs. It's baffling how the LGBTQ community PREACHES acceptance YET they PRACTICE NONE of that with their fellow "LGBTQ BROTHERS & SISTERS".

Amazing services, good environment, beautiful building, wonderful bookstore. They offer a welcoming space where you can feel safe and appreciated for you. The staff truly cares about people.

The Closing of the Metanoia exhibit was a glorious thing to see because it revealed the embers burning still in many of us, over the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of our people through HIV/AIDS, are ready to come roaring back to life, and make sure this critical piece of history is not forgotten or edited out of the book.

This place makes me feel like I m home, so welcoming!

What a great place. Came for a meeting and just loved the idea that this city had such a refuge. The Keith Haring mural is amazing.

Great facility, for the community. Offers a plethora of clubs, social clubs, and meetings from young to old.

The Center offers a wide variety of community events and programs ... A true oasis in the heart of the city!

It's clean, well lite and a very friendly place to go for all kinds of events.

I have been attending the center for events for the last 10 years Marching In the pride parade with them for the last 6 years. I've done groups with them I've done 12-step groups with them when I made it to when I was in need of therapy that were there for me. I've made many friends and allies at the center and will continue to go until the end of time. It's a safe haven for all walks of life and a great place to come relax have something to eat, study, talk, get away from the world or just relax. They offer support groups, they offer education for HIV and other diseases. Also, there is always safe sex tools at the front desk that are complementary because that is very important especially in the LGBT community. Stop by the center at 208 West 13th Street if you are having trouble finding your tribe and are part of the lgbtq plus community or just an ally and run stop and there is definitely something for everybody

Whenever I visit NYC, I always stop off at The Center to see what's going on. Sometimes I check ahead to see what groups are meeting that I'd like to join. Then I plan my trip around that group's meeting. I've met lots of friendly NYC guys and women at The Center.

I was visiting for the first time and the front desk had no care about that. The community there seemed as if my first visit didn't matter. Nor the person before me. It's a nice space, but I don't think they care about their community much. Really was disappointment and my excitement passed quickly. :(

More centers supporting the lgbt community needs to model after this space!

It offers a variety of services and outlets. It could do better as far as outreach.It has a separate wing which is misleading for someone new. I attended a dating seminar which was a ploy to buy a book and stage a boring talk show. Instead of being fun and connecting people it created obstacles. At times they are strict about alcohol but if you're sponsoring a big enough venue then it's ok. It's a rock for the community at the same time crippling it's efforts to fall face first into a pile of broken meth. All jokes aside it has potential.

I love this place! The Think Coffee kiosk area is cozy. The baristas are usually cute and fun. I also love the Bookstore upstairs. The center houses many meetings groups and events for the LGBTQ community (Social,or recovery).
I believe that their open 7 days a week.

Please see the Keith Harring room in there. It's a living historic testament

This is the place!!
Something for everyone!!
From basic questions to health care and social events!!
See information desk for details

Check upstairs for a real Keith Harring mural!!
