Accessibility:

At Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center, we think accessibility is crucial in community spaces. We use the term "accessibility" to refer broadly to ways we are thinking expansively about ensuring access to our programs is equal to all LGBTQ+ people. We believe equity for all LGBTQ+ people means working to dismantle ableism in our spaces. We have a long way to go to be where we want to be and should be. We encourage community feedback as we continue the work. For more about accessibility at Bradbury-Sullivan Center and to submit feedback, click here.

Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center is committed to cross-movement solidarity and believes in access and inclusion for people with disabilities. Some of our accessibility efforts include:

• live closed captioning in all virtual arts, support, and community groups
• image descriptions are included alongside all images and videos in social media posts
• accessible parking is available in the Community Parking Deck for the parking spaces closest to the elevator on each floor. The deck is directly adjacent to our community center. 
• Lehigh Valley Pride includes live ASL interpretation of both stages, reserved seating at both stages for older adults and people with disabilities, accessible parking, accessible outdoor restrooms, and large-print programs.
• Unfortunately, the front entrance to our building is not wheelchair accessible, however our side entrance (Bayard Rustin Way) is.

Intersectionality:

At Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center, we strive to strengthen and celebrate the Lehigh Valley’s LGBTQ+ communities, which means embracing all identities and intersections. People of all races, cultures, religions, abilities, sizes, and socioeconomic backgrounds are members of our LGBTQ+ community, and we seek to create spaces that both acknowledge the multiple marginalization, increased discrimination, and oppression individuals might experience while recognizing the importance and beauty of community members’ unique perspectives. An intersectional approach to LGBTQ+ programs, services, and advocacy can help us map and uncover the layers and complexities of our identities as LGBTQ+ people to better support all our community members and support our collective liberation.

Non-Discrimination:

Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, mental or physical disability, HIV status, genetic information, marital status, ancestry, familial status, use of guide or support animals and/or mechanical aids, or status as a veteran.
