Since opening its doors 20 years ago, SFLGBTCenter's iconic bright purple building on Market Street has become a hub that provides essential services and resources to underserved and marginalized communities.
Hundreds of anti-LGBTQ+ bills having been proposed just six months into 2022, and the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade has set a precedent for sending other landmark decisions back to the states that could affect the community.
What the implications of the Supreme Court’s ruling on Roe v. Wade mean for LGBTQ+ rights and protections is a challenge the center will be tackling. While most other organizations serving LGBTQ+ people in The City focus on specific communities, Rolfe said, “We work with folks from every neighborhood, every race, culture, ethnicity, gender identity, economic background, really addressed the full spectrum of the LGBTQ community.”
“We really look at every person who walks through our doors as being somebody who's got a set of needs and also a great set of assets and things to contribute to the community,” said Rolfe.
