In Connecticut, there are LGBTQ community centers in New Haven, Norwalk and, most recently, Bridgeport. There have also been ct-lgbtq-pride-queer-hub-18155964.php">recent efforts to launch a queer hub in West Hartford.

These spaces are important for community, safety, resources, and even are associated with reduced suicide risk among LGBTQ youth, according to the Trevor Project.

Connecticut Public reported on the New Haven Pride Center’s move to a larger location in January. They say this will allow them to offer more community resources.

This hour, we hear from Juancarlos Soto, executive director of the New Haven Pride Center. We'll also hear from a researcher who has measured the importance of these community hubs, and the resources they offer.

Plus, we get an update on the policies protecting and restricting LGBTQ rights in the U.S. from The 19th's LGBTQ+ reporter Orion Rummler.

GUESTS:

  • Orion Rummler: LGBTQ+ Reporter, The 19th
  • Juancarlos Soto: Executive Director, New Haven Pride Center
  • Dr. Dani Chiaramonte: Associate Research Scientist, Yale LGBTQ Mental Health Initiative
