Learning Center has published a collection of resources for LGBTQ+ people, which includes videos, courses, virtual training, and printable tools designed to support Los Angeles school communities. California is one of the most progressive states in terms of LGBT anti-discrimination laws. However, even though California laws on LGBT rights began to receive recognition as early as the 1960s, recent EEOC statistics show that discrimination based on sexual orientation continues to exist in the workplace, even in California. The Los Angeles LGBT Center provides and provides space for a variety of different types of discussion, twelve-step, therapy, support, and outreach groups.
Some are presented by the Center, while others are directed, organized and presented by groups or entities not affiliated with the Center.
