| Mission Statement | |
| Queens Lesbian and Gay Pride Committee, Inc. | |
| QLGPC is Queens' largest multi-service lesbian and gay rights organization. QLGPC disseminates information about, and fosters knowledge and
understanding of, the culture of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities. We educate the public about the history of the movement for self-respect
and equal treatment for people of same gender attraction. We create and support activities commemorating events of importance within the lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender communities. We produce the annual Queens Lesbian and Gay Pride Parade and Multicultural Festival as one of the main vehicles to achieve our goals. Additionally, we create, sponsor and support social service programs dedicated to improving the social, emotional, physical and educational well being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, their family and friends within a safe space. We believe this helps to promote multicultural understanding and positive intergroup relations. QLGPC receives funding from various public and private sources which enables us to provide services to the LGBT communities of Queens, the Borough of Nations. | |
