In light of the recent national election results, we at the LGBTQ Center Long Beach stand firmly with our community as we confront the sadness and fear that many are experiencing. We recognize that these moments can create significant uncertainty and anxiety about our rights, safety, and ability to live authentically and freely.

Let us be clear: The Center will not waver in its commitment to being a beacon of hope and resilience. Our doors remain open to everyone seeking solace, support, and solidarity. We are unequivocally dedicated to being a leader in the ongoing fight for equality, providing a safe space where your identity is celebrated, and ensuring that your voice is heard and valued. These times may challenge us, but remember—you are not alone in this fight.

We urge you to lean on us and each other. At the bottom of this post are ways you can stay engaged, groups you can join, and actions you can access our shared power as a community. Our strength lies in our unity, and together, we are undeniably stronger. While the path ahead may be difficult, we will navigate it side by side, as we have always done.
