About OFC:
Our Family Coalition is one of the largest LGBT family organizations in the nation. Started in 1994 as a group for parents with infants, we've grown into an organization respected throughout the San Francisco Bay Area for our advocacy and civil rights work - as well as our spirited sense of fun. Along with our monthly social and educational events, we've dedicated ourselves to protecting families by registering domestic partners at all of our major events. Come join us. www.OurFamily.org
About The Center:
Since opening it's doors in March 2002 this four-story community center has hostessed hundreds of events with hundreds of groups for thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans folks, their families and friends. With state-of-the-art meeting facilities and two large performance/event spaces the Center is a central gathering spot and should hold a spot in your heart as we travel a path towards equality and freedom for all.
