About us
The Billy DeFrank Center is part of the fabric on The Alameda and throughout the County with people coming to play Rainbow Bingo on Wednesdays, participating in the ‘Vintage means Valuable’ vibrant older adult 50+ group, and hosting Gaymes in the Queer Library attracting large numbers of younger queer, trans/nonbinary, gender fluid folks. The Center embraces a large number of discussion and leadership groups, and diverse social activities and special events.
To this day, the Billy DeFrank LGBTQ+ Community Center is recalibrating how to serve the community and allies The Center continues to be a beacon of hope, a 3rd Place where you get to be who you really are.
