Dear Center Community, We reached a grim milestone last week, as the United States counted over 500,000 Americans who have perished in this pandemic, including many LGBTQ people across the nation, as well as local LGBTQ leaders and community members. Our hearts go out to the many who have suffered from COVID-19 related losses this year, including the loss of family, friends, loved ones, as well as losses of employment, businesses, relationships, resources, regular community gatherings and annual celebrations. Although the vaccine rollout is underway, we still must do all we can to stop the spread of this terrible virus including wearing masks, social distancing, and washing hands, as we look with hope toward the future where we can all be together again.
