Gay Community Social Services

Mission

"To improve the status of sexual minorities and women"

    This is accomplished in several ways, primarily through the work of the projects. GCSS has not formally amended this mission statement but has incorporated several adjunct purposes through the following.

Principles of Unity

    "We are an organization of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and supporters of our communities, who are working for human rights for all people, especially sexual minorities. We clarify that our real opponents are not people, but ignorance, intolerance, injustice and fear. Our aim is then, education through positive and supportive activities and programs. We ally ourselves with other groups and individuals working toward the same goal."

Diversity

    GCSS is committed to embracing the diversity that is the gay, lesbian and bisexual community.
