WILLIAM C. THOMPSON, JR. NEW YORK CITY COMPTROLLER Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender DIRECTORY OF SERVICES AND RESOURCES NEW YORK METROPOLITAN AREA JUNE 2005 www.comptroller.nyc.gov June 2005

Dear Friend,

I am proud to present the 2005 edition of our annual Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Directory of Services and Resources. I know it will continue to serve you well as an invaluable guide to all the New York metropolitan area has to offer the LGBT community, family and friends. Several hundred up-to-date listings, most with websites and e-mail addresses, are included in this year’s Directory. You’ll find a wide range of community organizations, health care facilities, counseling and support groups, recreational and cultural opportunities, houses of worship, and many other useful resources and contacts throughout the five boroughs and beyond. My thanks to the community leaders, activists and organizers who worked with my staff to produce this year’s Directory. Whether you consult it in book form or online at www.comptroller.nyc.gov, I am sure you’ll return many times to this popular and comprehensive resource. If you have questions or comments, please contact Alan Fleishman in my Office of Research and Special Projects at (212) 669-2697, or send us an email at [email protected]. I look forward to working together with you as we continue to make New York City an even better place to live, work and visit.

Very truly yours,

William C. Thompson, Jr. PHONE FAX E-MAIL WEB LINK * THE CENTER, 208 WEST 13TH STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10011
