Brother Help Thyself

About this place Brother Help Thyself

Brother, Help Thyself is a longstanding LGBTQ+ organization based in Washington that has been supporting the community for over 40 years. Founded in 1978 by four gay motorcycle clubs, the organization was built on a foundation of community solidarity and mutual aid—those first motorcycle clubs pooled their resources to raise $4,518 as seed funding for what would become an important local institution. Today, the organization continues its mission of funding and supporting GLBQT social, cultural, and health services across Washington. As an LGBTQ+ venue and organization, it plays a vital role in the local community by directing resources toward programs and initiatives that matter to LGBTQ+ residents and visitors. Whether you're interested in learning about community support services, connecting with local LGBTQ+ initiatives, or understanding the history of grassroots organizing in Washington's queer community, this is a meaningful place to explore. If you're traveling through Washington and want to engage with authentic community organizations rather than just commercial venues, Brother, Help Thyself offers a chance to learn about how the local LGBTQ+ community supports itself. You can visit their website for more information about their current programs and ways to get involved or support their work.
