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 25 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 gender-affirming career 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.
