This petition was submitted during the 2015–2017 Conservative government
Rejected petition Establish & support a queer (LGBT+) community centre in London.
London's LGBT community is diverse and long established, yet no queer spaces exist apart from commercial venues. The community is experiencing an array of issues that we need a community centre to help us build peer support and contribute to the society we are a part of. We need a safe place.
More details
London's LGBT community currently centres around Soho and Vauxhall's bars and clubs, normalising and promoting drug use (I.e. alcohol) in LGBT youth. This MUST change for the wellbeing of society as whole so that we are empowered to confront issues facing our community.
