LGBT Community Network

Thank you for an amazing Give OUT Day 2020! You may still make a contribution, but Give OUT Day is now over. 
No items, offers or matching contributions are occurring past 9pm PT.

LGBT Community Network is the Central Valley's advocacy and education organization for the LGBT community. You'll find us throughout the Central Valley as: LGBT Fresno, LGBT Visalia, LGBT Hanford and LGBT Porterville.

As an organization that primarily serves people of color, we are proud to be donating 10% of all monies raised to NAACP Legal Defense Fund. 

We envision a time where people across the spectrum of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer identities are free to live authentically, with safety and dignity, in all communities throughout our state.

Growing up in rural California isn’t easy. Many imagine California as the liberal mecca, but California's Central Valley is among the most conservative areas of the USA and home to the largest church to resident ratios, Young people face daily bullying, school leadership that demeans their existence, leading them to feel like they have nowhere to turn and no one like them. This is especially true for LGBTQ+ kids and teens, who often hide their sexuality or gender identity for fear of bullying. Without other openly LGBTQ+ adults and mentors in their lives, they can't imagine what their future may hold.

LGBT Community Network operates throughout this vulnerable area of the state and provides services to those in need.
As you can see, our work is far from done.

In addition to these ongoing attacks on our rights…

Everyone in the LGBTQ community has a story to tell and a battle to wage for equality and fairness.

June 30th is Give OUT Day, a yearly event dedicated to raising awareness of the many issues that affect our community, and an opportunity to support the organizations that are fighting for LGBTQ rights.
