Twenty-eight years ago the Los Angeles LGBT Center moved from a rather dilapidated old motel and into a newly renovated 4,400-square-foot building in Hollywood.
Along with that newly operational space came a new executive director and the promise of a new future and direction for the Center, which since 1969 had cared for, championed, and celebrated LGBTQ individuals and families in the Southland.
Speaking to the Los Angeles Blade Wednesday, LA LGBT Center CEO Lorri L. Jean marveled at the journey for the center she has headed for so long and is now preparing to hand off its primary leadership role of- but also at her personal journey.
