Q Center is Portland’s LGBTQIA2S+ community center, a place to find connection, support, and belonging. We bring people together through year-round programs, groups, and events, while helping community members navigate resources when life gets complicated. In a world that can feel increasingly hostile, we’re committed to being a steady, affirming space where our community is seen, protected, and empowered to thrive.

“History isn’t something you look back at and say it was inevitable. It happens because people make decisions that are sometimes very impulsive and of the moment, but those moments are cumulative realities.”
