For our .gay Community Spotlight this week, we bring you a conversation with Oasis Center, which is providing a safe and affirming space for young people to explore and celebrate their identities wholly and authentically in Tennessee.

This week for .gay’s Community Spotlight series, we honor LYRIC's hard work and dedication. They are one of the country's first and largest LGBTQ+ Youth centers, founded in 1988.

Since then, they have been providing services and resources for LGBTQ+ Youth in the Bay Area.

One·n·ten is a nonprofit working with LGBTQ+ young people in the 11-24 year old age group, to empower and support them.

For this week's .gay community spotlight, we're shining a light on the work and services they provide.
