Our history begins on November 27, 1978, when the non-profit organization Gay Community Services (GCS) for safe space meetups was created.

Later that year, Gay Men’s Hotline was formed. The number was 407-THE-GAYS and was staffed by volunteers. Gay men could call for referrals, mental health counseling, and up-to-date information on GCS meetups.
