Шаблон:Infobox organization Brooklyn Community Pride Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit LGBTQ+ community center in Brooklyn, New York. Incorporated in 2008, it was the first LGBTQ+ center in Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.[1]
History
Brooklyn Community Pride Center was the first LGBTQ+ center in Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. As of 2020, it remains the only LGBTQ+ center there.[1][2]
Erin Drinkwater served as executive director of the center from 2012 through 2014.[3] During this time, the center moved from its 600-square-foot walk-up quarters to a 1,600 square-foot facility.[3] In 2014, Deborah Brennan joined the center's board of directors and in 2015 became president of the board.[4] She then recruited Floyd Rumohr as the center's new chief executive officer.[4][5] In January 2021, Deborah Brennan transitioned off the board and Sonelius Kendrick-Smith was elected president.[6]
In 2020, the center signed a 30-year lease for a new headquarters, to be located inside a section of the Bedford Union Armory in Crown Heights.[1] The new space is to contain Brooklyn's "first dedicated mental health LGBTQ clinic", while the old space will be retained and dedicated to youth programming and services.[1]
