Date:
September 14, 1979

Synopsis

Stan Chambers reports from the Gay Community Services Center, where an open house is underway to celebrate the center's opening. Executive Director of the center, Steve Schulte, discusses the center's role as a human services agency where they have a clinic and 13 programs to assist members of the gay community with issues ranging from employment to alcohol abuse. The facility is also meant to serve as a community center for gay men and lesbians in Los Angeles. City Councilman Zev Yaroslovsky pledges the city's commitment to the center and the gay community and notes that resistance to such support still exists but is waning. He also participates in a ribbon cutting. Clip includes footage of the exterior and people attending the event.

Note: The KTLA newsfilm collection at UCLA consists of cut and unedited stories, outtakes and fill footage, originally shot on 16mm reversal film stock with magnetic soundtrack. Some footage, particularly material not used for broadcast, may be without sound.
