In the summer of 2009, a small group of concerned citizens from the San Antonio area began a dialogue about creating a center to serve the local LGBT community. The group met frequently at the house of founding member Joseph Garrett to strategize and present ideas on moving forward. It became abundantly clear to the group that such a center should be established.
In February 2011, thirteen individuals from the San Antonio area formed a board. Eight of these founding board members had been involved in the project since its inception in 2009. ?Pride Center San Antonio? was born with the purpose to promote the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and ally community in Bexar County. Our goal: to establish the center as a clearinghouse that would work in alliance, rather than in competition, with existing programs and services within our community. Initial contact was made with community members at large to gain a perspective on how well received an LGBT organization would be in the city.
