LGBT community centers are safe meeting places for all people. Prior to the gay liberation movement, there were no LGBT community centers in the United States. They became popular in the 1980s following activism to combat HIV/AIDS in the LGBT community. By 2009, there were at least 150 throughout the country.[1]
