🌈✨ Hello Friends! We invite you to check out our events for June!

Pride by the Beach is almost here! To learn more about our Pride activities, check out the post on our page!

Join us with Thrive Out Loud in creating a custom theatrical performance in partnership with the Oceanside Theatre Company! Our youth have settled on creating a dark comedy that explores themes of performative wokeness, internet culture, and drug prevention. If that sounds fun to you, we welcome your participation! The show is on June 24th.

May 22nd is Harvey Milks Birthday! Today we honor the life and mission of Harvey Milk.

Who is Harvey Milk?

Harvey Milk was the first openly gay man elected to public office in California. In his 11 months in office, he established himself as an important voice for the q***r community of San Francisco, sponsored a bill banning discrimination of the basis of sexual orientation in public accommodations, housing, and employment, and rallied support for voting against the Briggs initiative.

His assassination was devastating, but it was also a catalyst for social change. He became a legend in the community and has inspired many to continue his work towards a world without prejudice. Today we hope that you take inspiration from his life to give back yourself. Volunteer with LGBTQ organizations, donate to those in need, protest, advocate, organize for the good of the LGBTQ community, or spread some q***r joy! Gather your LGBTQ friends, let them know you appreciate them, and have a good time!

To our LGBTQ Youth. Harvey Milk could not have made the change he did without the support from the community of young q***r volunteers and voters on his team. We hope you take some inspiration from his story to pave your own path toward a better world.

National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is a day for the consideration of young people in policy making, education, and medical care surrounding HIV/AIDS. Young people are the ones that will have to live with the consequences of our current approach to all three of these areas. Many today still feel the lasting impact of missing LGBTQ+ elders due to the massive public health crisis for aids in the 1980s. What you advocate for now, will encourage a vibrant future for following generations.

This day is also intended to encourage young people to seek testing, prevention methods, and get involved with advocacy for HIV care. Protect your friends, family, and intimate partners by protecting yourself.


*****

The North County LGBTQ+ Resource Center offers safe, confidential, accurate, and free HIV testing every other Wednesday from 3pm - 5pm.

We also offer a Spanish/English support group for those living with HIV. Join us for a confidential, affirming, and uplifting space on every third Saturday of the month at 2:00pm.

Both of these services are located at our Center, 1919 Apple Street, Oceanside, CA 92054.

Talking to your child about what brings them JOY could be one of the most important things you decide to do MORE OFTEN this year.

Yes, we are facing mounting pressure at this time from people that have never met us, our children, our chosen families, or anyone in our communities to adhere to standards that are designed to disempower our individual sense of self, but JOY is arguably the MOST POWERFUL act of resistance, and it’s what keeps us resilient.

Though most of us associate “joy” with an easy-to-reach state of happiness, true JOY is often something that requires BRAVERY to express while others may be watching, especially for our kids.

If you want to talk with other parents and an experience (and affirming) Licensed Therapist experiencing a similar parenting journey, please join us TONIGHT (and every Tuesday) from 5:00-6:00pm for PARENTS WITH PRIDE.

We also always host OVER THE RAINBOW in conjunction with this program, so that any parents attending with children between ages 9-12 may bring them along (OVER THE RAINBOW is a social activity group for kids that self-identify as part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, where they kids can chat, play, and explore artistic activities together).

If you or someone you know is interested in this group, but cannot attend tonight:
Please save or share this post, or you may DM us with any questions.
If email is preferred, you can reach us at:

This group meets WEEKLY here at the center. Each week, we will be discussing topics like this as well as learning and practicing skills for parenting and emotionally supporting children that self-identify as part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

There is no “American History” without
Bayard Rustin made history in so many ways, and not without immense moral character and strength. Even among his peers in the civil rights movement, Bayard faced discrimination for self-identifying as a homosexual man. It was the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1980’s that inspired him to openly advocate for the LGBTQ community.
