The homophobic thread :>

[Vrede too]

[O Really]

So TV news tonight featured a non-profit center that provides a variety of services to LGBT people in need. News chick managed to keep a straight face discussing the availability of donated clothing from the center's "community closet." Yeppers, the LGBT service center really needs a community closet.

It's a good organization, though, and deserves praise even with their closet.

Established in 1972 as a community-based nonprofit organization, The San Diego LGBT Community Center is one of the most vibrant and largest LGBTQ community centers in the nation. Functioning as the San Diego LGBTQ community’s anchor organization, The Center provides targeted programs and services to the full diversity of the San Diego LGBT community, including men, women, youth, seniors, transgender and non-binary individuals, families, LGBTQ Latino/a/x community members, and their families, and those living with HIV.

The first program in the nation dedicated to the Latina/o/x community
The first Youth drop-in Center in San Diego devoted to LGBTQ youth
The only agency who offers free and anonymous HIV testing in San Diego

At The Center, our overarching philosophy and approach to providing support and services is trauma-informed care.

Our team focuses on 6 key principles with our trauma-informed approach – safety; trustworthiness & transparency; peer support; collaboration & mutuality; empowerment, voice & choice; and cultural, historical, sexuality & gender issues.

Are you focused on the ironic word 'closet', or on the fact that the org does clothes sharing?

If the latter, there are plenty of impoverished gays. Plus, being a drag queen is probably pretty pricey unless the thrift shops and community closets are bountiful Then, sudden transitioning requiring an entirely new wardrobe must be costly
