The Atlanta Gay Center was a community center that served the gay community in Atlanta, Georgia.
The center published a bi-weekly newspaper, and operated the Gay Helpline for the Atlanta area. The center was the meeting place for several support groups including those for for teens, interracial couples, older couples, and P-FLAG.
During the early 1980's, when AIDS was just being noticed, the Atlanta Gay Center offered free AIDS testing and support groups.
Founded in 1976, the center was one of the oldest gay community centers in the United States. It has since closed.
When the center closed, all of their operating files, news release files, and all other related historical documentation were given to the Atlanta History Center on West Paces Ferry Road, and is available for research purposes.
