About this place Centre LGBTI+ de Lyon

The Centre LGBTI+ de Lyon is the city's main LGBTQ+ community hub, federating dozens of associations under one roof on rue des Capucins in the 1st arrondissement. It offers a welcome desk, peer support, legal and health information, a library and regular events, and it hosts groups covering everything from trans support (Chrysalide) to LGBTQ+ sport and culture. For visitors it is the best first stop for up-to-date, local information on the scene.

1 star because I can't give zero stars **A paradoxical closed-mindedness and a deplorable welcome** An extremely disappointing experience at this center. While I went there with a sincere intention of listening, understanding, and openness to discuss LGBT issues, the reception was simply hostile. Instead of finding a space for dialogue, I encountered a wall of contempt, insults, and a clear order to shut up and leave. It's absurd for an organization that promotes inclusion and tolerance to be so closed-minded and aggressive towards new ideas or questions. If the people who are supposed to represent and explain these dynamics categorically refuse debate and reject those who seek to understand, they only widen the existing generational and ideological divide. By behaving like a closed, cult-like private club, this center completely contradicts its initial purpose, which should be to improve human relations and provide education. Its aggressive insularity utterly undermines the cause it claims to defend. Avoid it if you're looking for constructive dialogue. This is completely contrary to what an LGBT center should be. An extremely disappointing experience at this center. While I went there with a sincere intention of listening, understanding, and being open to asking questions and trying to understand the LGBT community, the reception was simply deplorable. Instead of finding a space for dialogue, I encountered a wall of contempt. An individual, clearly under the influence of drugs and wearing makeup, simply ordered me to be quiet. I was verbally assaulted, poorly received, insulted, and ultimately shown the door. It's absurd for an organization that champions inclusion and tolerance to be so closed off and hostile to questioning. In reality, they categorically refuse to interact with others, preferring to shut themselves off in their own bubble. This sectarianism and aggressive insularity are deeply shocking, especially for a group located in the heart of Lyon. If those who are supposed to represent and explain these dynamics reject those who seek understanding, they only widen the existing generational and ideological divide. This behavior completely contradicts the initial purpose of this type of space, which should be to improve human relations and educate. It's a destructive attitude that utterly undermines the cause they claim to defend. Absolutely avoid this place if you're looking for constructive dialogue.

A few kind people who were able to help me in the right way, namely, to unleash my inner femininity and let myself be guided by dance.

I am a Moroccan woman who recently moved to Lyon. I don't speak French very well. I am a lesbian and would like to live with you. Could you help me?
