You don’t need to be a bookworm to appreciate The Bureau of General Services-Queer Division (BGSQD), an independent, all-volunteer queer cultural center and bookstore.
Grab a coffee in the leafy courtyard or peruse the online calendar for upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. The Center is an important resource for NYC’s LGBTQ+ community and provides support groups, health check-ins, events, and art exhibits. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center-more commonly referred to as The Center-is easily recognizable for its billowing rainbow flag waving proudly above its doors.
