Our Center

Our Center Working to establish and maintain a safe, empowering, and supportive Center that addresses advocacy, education and services for the LGBTQ+ community.

It started as a dream in 2009, when the need for a safe, empowering and supportive LGBTQ+ community center was identified, and an action plan to create one was formed by a small group of individuals in northern Nevada. Since then, countless volunteer hours and monetary donations have been donated by a multitude of extraordinarily generous individuals and businesses, now bringing this dream to frui

tion in April 2016. Our mission is to maintain a safe, empowering, and supportive center for the LGBTQ+ community and allies that addresses advocacy, education, and services. We seek to build, connect, and strengthen the LGBTQ+ community through community building, arts and culture programming, and inclusive activities. Our Center is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit that relies solely on the support of private donations and the generosity of individuals, businesses and foundations.

We are closed for Memorial Day. See you all tomorrow.

On Memorial Day, we honor all who gave everything for this nation — including those who defended a freedom they did not fully have.

LGBTQIA+ service members have always answered the call. They fought in every war, on every front, often in silence. Many were discharged for who they were. Many were buried without their full truth known. All of them were brave.

Today we remember them fully, honestly and with the honor they always deserved. 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸
