Seattle's LGBTQ Center

Big love to our Gardens & Gems sponsors. 💐✨

Our summer fundraiser shines brighter because of partners who invest in care, joy, and liberation for LGBTQ+ communities across Seattle.

Thank you to Liberty Mutual, our Justice Partner, for more than three years of sponsorship and continued support of the Center’s work to cultivate self-determination, liberation, and joy.

And thank you to Rooted Northwest, our Equity Partner, for showing neighborhood care. Their team supports people buying and selling homes across the greater Seattle area while hosting events, volunteering, and donating a portion of every purchase or sale to local nonprofits that help our city thrive.

Sponsors like Rooted Northwest and Liberty Mutual show their continued support over the years, helping make Gardens & Gems possible and fueling the care, resources, and connections our communities deserve.

See you in Cal Anderson Park tomorrow for Q***r Youth Pride, once again! Members of our Youth Advisory Council have put together a fantastic lineup once again, with Alistair Elysia, Babydoll, The Odds & Ends, Tayesty, and more!

Stop by the Center’s booth (by the stage, in the sunbowl) for zines, coloring books, stickers, and connections to Q***r resources and services.

Q***r Youth Pride is free and all ages, and runs from 4-7pm during PrideFest Capitol Hill. It’s in the sunbowl this year (just north of Bobby Morris Playfield and the Cal Anderson Park Shelterhouse, and south of the playground and hot rat summer).

Be sure to catch the rest of PrideFest Capitol Hill beforehand. On Sunday, we’ll be tabling at PrideFest Seattle Center, (and are at Trans Pride right now) too!

Our lovely poster this year was created by Harlan McManus ( on Instagram). Thanks Hal!

Where will you be this weekend? Happy Pride!
