LGBT Organizations in Houston
Organization Name: Empowering Spirits Foundation, Inc.
The Empowering Spirits Foundation, Inc. (ESF) is a non-profit, non-partisan grass-root based civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) equality. ESF members engage in service-oriented activities in communities typically opposed to equal rights. In working side-by-side with our non-LGBT neighbors they may come to see similarities rather than differences in each of us, and we can engage in dialogue through non-confrontational means to promote equality. Additionally, the ESF develops community awareness, collaborates with other coalitions, and empowers individuals and organizations to engage in the political process for equality through educational endeavors.
Since 1982, the Gay & Lesbian Switchboard Houston has been a friendly listener. Every day, callers reach out to us to talk about many different kinds of issues that play an important part of their lives. In some cases, the Switchboard is the only place people can call. From AIDS anxiety to coming out, relationship problems to loneliness, our calls are as varied as the community itself.
