Kelly Clarkson recently discussed the urgent challenges the LGBTQ+ community faces in the U.S. on her show. Featuring Laverne Cox and Carla Smith, CEO of The LGBT Community Center, the conversation emphasized the center's long-standing commitment to providing crucial support services since its establishment in 1983. They highlighted the need for safe spaces amidst increased hostility towards the community, particularly under Donald Trump’s administration. The discussion underscored the center's diverse services that now cater to mental health, youth support, and more, demonstrating the vital role of community support amidst adversity.
There's a thought line, right? That sort of carries us forward... very important services needed more than ever.
I'm actually the first CEO of color at the center, the first Black CEO.
It's getting a little scary now, too.
when the state is so vehemently, overtly against you, community feels like the thing that we have to really lean into.
