Speaker Christine Quinn speaks at rally against rainbow flag burning at the LGBT Center
On the morning of April 14, 2010 the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center staff arrived to find a torched rainbow flag draped on the front of the building. This act of hate must not be tolerated! Actions like this are menacing to our community and, if not addressed, can lead to an environment that allows more heinous acts, such as verbal attacks, property damage and physical violence. Showing our solidarity now will empower our community and send a message to the public that we will not be intimidated or threatened. The Center is a beacon of safety and hope for LGBT New Yorkers and our building stands as an emblem of our community's presence in the city. The Center is visited over 300000 times every year by people in search of support, safety and transformation. More than 1000 young people come through our doors annually searching for acceptance and a place where they feel comfortable expressing their true selves. twitter.com facebook.com
