Recently, Movement Advancement Project (MAP): http://lgbtmap.org/ released the 2014 LGBT Community Center Survey Report. Which TransparencyReporting.com will be revising thoroughly, and at the same time will be sharing any concerns that nee...d and should be addressed. I will be providing future updates as they may arise so please feel free to share any feedback. If you want to remain anonymous please send me an instant message.
I noticed there is a discrepancy on the main introduction of the report which states the following: “The L.A. LGBT Center (formerly the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center) opened its doors 45 years ago as the first lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) center in the United States.” (2014-lgbt-community-center-survey-report: page 4)
For clarification purposes, the LA LGBT Center didn’t have their doors open to the trans-community 45 years ago and definitely we were not welcome. The only restriction that the Center had was that if trans-women were seeking any information and not services since they were now tailored to our needs, we still needed to be dressed in male’s clothing before we could even enter the premises.
