Welcome to SFV LGBTQ CENTER

The San Fernando Valley LGBTQ (SFV LGBTQ) Center is a broad-based coalition made up of organizations serving the LGBTQ population in the San Fernando Valley. Special efforts are centralized around specifically outreaching to the San Fernando Valley population in order to increase awareness, understanding and acceptance while diminishing stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination.   

The San Fernando Valley LGBTQ Center was established in November 2008 as a response to the passing of California's Proposition 8, ballot title: “Eliminates Rights of Same-Sex Couples to Marry. Initiative Constitutional Amendment”.  These organizations founded a formal alliance that resulted in coordinated efforts to increase support of LGBTQ people and issues and the resending of Proposition 8.

San Fernando Valley LGBTQ’s mission is to promote Liberty, Equality and Justice for the LGBTQ community. SFV LGBTQ Center believes that an investment in engaging and empowering strong LGBTQ individuals in the community will result in stronger leadership and advocacy that will ultimately lay the foundation for acceptance and support of the LGBTQ community.
