Portland, Oregon
Portland's LGBTQ+ community center, hosting 25+ groups since 2005.
Q Center is a nonprofit LGBTQ+ community center on North Mississippi Avenue, the largest of its kind in the Pacific Northwest. Founded in 2005, with early backing from then-City Commissioner Sam Adams, later Portland's first openly gay mayor, it was the city's first new LGBTQ+ center in decades, and it settled into its current Mississippi Avenue home in 2009. More than a dozen community groups meet here each month, from Trans Femme and transmasculine support circles to Lesbians of a Certain Age and youth ballroom workshops. The center also runs a by-appointment gender-affirming clothing closet, a food pantry, sliding-scale resource referrals, and rotating art exhibits in its gallery space, with weekday drop-in hours. For a queer traveler new to town, it's the single best place to find out what's actually happening in Portland's community this week.
