Houston GLBT Community Center

[1] The Center was a nonprofit all-volunteer nonprofit organization whose mission was "to empower, educate, and nurture individuals of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities, generating a sense of community by providing for their social, emotional, and physical well being.

The 2003 Supreme Court decision in that case overturned sodomy laws in the United States.

[6] The Center hosted a weekly coming-out group for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning individuals, a monthly First Saturday Queer Bingo and art shows at the Center and throughout Houston, [citation needed] and facilitated the quarterly Community Leaders Networking Group as well as the Houston GLBT Business Council.

The Center moved into its first facility at 803 Hawthorne Avenue in March 1998 during the administration of Brian J. Tognotti, the first president of the Center,[8][verification needed] and moved a suite at 3400 Montrose Boulevard in early 2003 during the first presidency of Timothy Brookover.

[8] In 2003, under the leadership of then Center president Burton Bagby-Grose, the name and mission statement were changed to include bisexual and transgender people.
