The Barcelona LGTBI Centre was brought about by the Barcelona City Council and is managed by the Platform of LGTBI Entities of Catalonia.
The Centre has three systems or lines of work: primary care services, activity scheduling and host system for entities. It was conceived to offer free psychological, legal and work support in relation to LGBTQ+ issues, and it also hosts events and series that aim to establish it as a sociocultural and relational resource in the city. It also serves as a meeting place for associations, whether they're resident in the Centre or not, that work in the field of gender and sexuality. This oasis of diversity seeks to promote identity, avoid heteropatriarchal and binary division, and ensure the rights of all.
The Barcelona LGTBI Centre first opened its doors in early 2019 with a stable of professionals working in the fields of psychological and legal care and management and administrative positions with the aim of being available to everyone. The Centre is not the end of a story, but the continuation of a long struggle.
