Centre LGTBI de Barcelona

It's a place where you can count on community support as a society. The LGBTI Centre is a lovely place to visit even alone or with friends; sometimes there are exhibitions in its hallways…

An undeserved luxury that reflects the hypocrisy of my community. End of story. They should turn it into a place of refuge, not...

I feel compelled to share my experience with this ostensibly supportive establishment. Should you successfully navigate the labyrinthine appointment system, you'll likely be greeted (fashionably late, of course) by enthusiastic junior staff members who appear more invested in their doctoral dissertations on gender theory than in addressing the immediate needs of their visitors - particularly those dealing with workplace harassment, medical negligence, or long-term abuse. In a masterpiece of timing, they maintain the curious tradition of closing for August holidays - coincidentally when x crime statistics reach their annual peak. Their promises of follow-up contact upon return seem to vanish like morning mist in Barcelona's summer heat. Given their remarkable talent for inaction, one cannot help but wonder if the spacious facility might better serve Barcelona's homeless population. In what might be considered the ultimate irony, unless one possesses the resources and profile of Jenny the football player, seeking justice for severe abuse cases feels rather like trying to catch wind with a net. Their annual solution of offering vermouth-centered gatherings to women whom often struggle with substance dependence - showcases a particularly tone-deaf approach to support. The center appears to excel primarily in maintaining its own existence, with actual victim support featuring as more of an inconvenient afterthought. Other reviews corroborate these observations - I encourage skeptics to verify independently. One might say they've achieved a perfect alignment between their promises and delivery - just not in the way intended.

A space where you can feel safe, well, meet good people, people who will help you with everything you need. Special thanks to Hector for his help, support and doing everything I need 💚💚💚

An incredible place to learn more about LGBT+ history, collaborate with other queer people in the different interactive rooms, and find associations to be part of!
