Part of the Gay San Jose Guide — bars, events & things to do.
San Jose, California
San Jose's LGBTQ+ community center since 1981
The Billy DeFrank LGBTQ+ Community Center has anchored queer life in San Jose since 1981, operating out of a building on The Alameda northwest of downtown. It's a nonprofit hub rather than a nightlife spot — the calendar runs to HIV testing, support and discussion groups, older-adult programming, a lending library of several thousand LGBTQ+ titles, and community events like Rainbow Bingo. If you're new to the South Bay or looking for the organized center of the community rather than a bar, this is the front door. Check its calendar before visiting, since hours follow the program schedule.
