LONG BEACH — Three complaints were filed against the executive director of the Long Beach LGBTQ Center four months before he was put on leave pending an investigation into allegations of racism and a hostile work environment.
One employee and two former employees filed complaints against Porter Gilberg, the Center’s executive director, in February.
On June 26, an open letter written by 14 former employees was given to the Center’s board of directors and posted on social media by a group called Save The Center LB.
