About the Center…
The Hudson Valley LGBTQ Community Center was founded in October 2005 with the goal of providing an affirming environment for the creation, development, growth, support and acceptance of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer. Since its founding, the Center has grown at a remarkable pace. Today, with nearly 1200 members, its own building in the historic Uptown Kingston area, and significant traffic on its website, the Center is easily the largest organization representing the LGBTQ constituency in the region. Programs to educate, serve and protect LGBTQ people and their families are presently operating and many more programs are being added all the time. The Center is a taxexempt, 501c3 organization. All proceeds from the Business Directory will be used to further these vital programs.
We are your neighbors and customers. Together, we can build a safer and healthier future for all in the Hudson Valley.

“Nationally, the purchasing power of the LGBTQ community is estimated at $641 billion, with projections reaching $2 trillion by 2012. Add in the buying power of the millions of family members and friends who show allegiance to fairminded businesses, and you get a message that no business can afford to ignore…
… equality is good for business.”
- J. Huckaby, 2006
