Los Angeles LGBT Center

The Los Angeles LGBT Center has been providing housing, healthcare, legal assistance and job training to the city’s queer community for over a half-century. But don’t let its age fool you: This is easily one of the liveliest support organizations in the city thanks to its picnic-style parties, outdoor movie screenings and one of the largest transgender Pride celebrations in the country.

The LGBT Center has nine buildings across the city, including its flagship Anita May Rosenstein Campus, a two-acre complex in Hollywood with facilities for seniors and homeless youth as well as affordable housing. It’s also where you’ll find Liberation Coffee House, an adorable, colorful cafe that’s staffed by the center’s culinary training program, outfitted for gallery shows and adorned with photos and ephemera of local LGBTQ+ history.
