OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER
JOHN C. LIU
MUNICIPAL BUILDING
ONE CENTRE STREET
NEW YORK, N.Y. 10007-2341
Dear Friend:
As New York City’s newly elected Comptroller, I am committed to remaining
a powerful voice of support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
community. I pledge to continue my advocacy on marriage equality, corporate
adoption of the Equality Principles, the Dignity for All Students Act, and
strengthening transgender civil rights. Our “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender Directory” is the only resource of its kind in New York and I am
proud to present this year’s edition.
This year’s “LGBT Directory” features updates of several hundred carefully
organized, comprehensive listings, many with websites and e-mail addresses.
You’ll find a wide range of community organizations, health care facilities,
counseling and support groups, recreational and cultural opportunities, houses
of worship, arts and creative organizations, and many other vital resources and
contacts throughout the five boroughs and beyond.
As your Comptroller, I look forward to working with you to make our City an
even fairer and more just place to live, work and visit. If you have questions
or comments, please contact Alan Fleishman at [email protected] or
(212) 669-2697. Whether you consult the “LGBT Directory” in book form or
online at http://www.comptroller.nyc.gov/lgbt, I am sure you will return many
times to consult this popular and useful resource.
Sincerely,
John C. Liu
