(Chicago, USA) - Chicago has a new Center for its LGBT community. The Center on Halsted, 3656 N. Halsted St., is five years in the making, built primarily with the millions raised from 2,000 private donors. With recreational, cultural and support services all under one roof, the facility is the most comprehensive gay community center in the Midwest, its founders say. In the lofty rooms of the three-story community center, people can play basketball in a huge gym, attend a production in the theater and surf the Web in a computer lab. There is also dedicated space for seniors, teens and offices. There will be a charge for some services, but use of facilities such as the gym and computer lab are free. For youth, the center's programs could serve as the first place they feel comfortable with their homosexuality.
