About this place Gay & Lesbian Independent Democrats

Gay & Lesbian Independent Democrats (GLID) is a political club founded in 1972. It was New York City's first gay and lesbian Democratic club. It is an organisation, not a venue. It endorses candidates, organises around LGBTQ+ policy, and holds member meetings. Its listed address, 208 West 13th Street, is the LGBT Community Center in the West Village, where many community groups meet. For a visitor, it is mainly of interest if you want to attend a public meeting or follow local queer politics. Check glidny.org for upcoming meetings and events before turning up. There is nothing to visit at the address otherwise beyond the Center itself.

I first had meetings here in what had been the actual showers, hoping that the pipes didn't burst, or leak. I was here for the Rainbow Book Fair, which took center attention.

A beacon in the city; the center means a lot to me. I pray it never closes its doors.

In 2024, there used to be a very nice coffee shop on the right as you entered. I was a bit sad to see that it was no longer there when I visited last week, but it still felt good to be back after a long time :(
