À propos de ce lieu Barbara Gittings Way

The block of Locust Street between 12th and 13th, in Philadelphia's Gayborhood, carries the honorary name Barbara Gittings Way, dedicated on October 1, 2012. Gittings (1932-2007) edited The Ladder, the first nationally distributed lesbian magazine, in the mid-1960s, and organised the Annual Reminders with Frank Kameny: July 4 pickets at Independence Hall from 1965 to 1969. She also pushed the American Library Association to recognise gay books, staffing a 'Hug a Homosexual' booth at its 1971 conference, and campaigned for the American Psychiatric Association to drop homosexuality from its list of disorders, which it did in 1973. There is nothing to visit beyond the street sign, but it's a short walk from Independence Hall, where the pickets took place.

Unfortunately they're going to be relocating but they are a really good LGBTQIA etc community center.

This place needs to change their name to Male Community Center for Gay, Bisexual & Trans-Identified Males. This is for them, not us. They make this clear in everything they do. Edit: Your response is sickening. It is a lie that you “try” to do better than this and it’s a lie that you can’t see the massive imbalance. Edit 2: You literally have a support group for bi me n married to wome n. That’s HORRIFIC. Oppressors do not need support groups for being married to someone from the group they marginalize. You clearly also have no such groups for wome n.

I've been contacting them on and off about various things I need with the wrongdoing people have caused me over the years. It took time to find the proper personnel that felt right for me, but I think my efforts were worth it. Overall, I had a pleasant experience while I was there. Thank you for existing.
