About this place Brother Help Thyself

Brother, Help Thyself has been around for over 40 years, an LGBTQ+ organization in Washington that still supports its community.

It started in 1978. Four gay motorcycle clubs put their money together—$4,518, to be exact—to kick off what would become a key local institution.

Today, the organization still funds GLBQT social, cultural, and health services all over Washington. It’s a place that funnels money into programs and initiatives that actually matter to the city’s queer residents and visitors.

If you’re in Washington and want to see how the LGBTQ+ community supports itself, rather than just hitting up bars, Brother, Help Thyself is a good place to start. Their website has details on current programs and how to get involved.

Many moons ago I came here as a troubled youth. Lambert House was a place I could be myself and not worry about judgement. I made friends and was distracted from a tumultuous life. In the end I made poor choices and turned my back on the house that had given me so much. The director, Ken, was a generous man and I pray he is still there guiding the LGBT youth of today. If you are in need of help or support don't hesitate to stop by. You won't regret it.

Last summer I had gone here and it was fun. I plan on coming back on the last day of school and hopefully I wont be as paranoid to talk to people. Thank you guys for making this a safe place ❤️

Edit, 2024: I cannot see this as an actively safe place anymore. After allegedly denying any harassment by other youth I have received, there has been no vetting process into keeping predators out, or attempts to admit theyve had predators at all.
