Gay & Lesbian Switchboard of Long Island,
History and Mission Statement

The Gay & Lesbian Switchboard of Long Island provides peer counseling and information services for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered communities of Long island and it's surrounding areas. The GLSB was founded in 1991, in an attempt to educate and empower the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered communities on Long Island. It had grown over the past 16 years, into one of the largest continuously running Gay and Lesbian switchboards in New York State.

The Switchboard volunteers are here to listen regardless of the reason for the call (coming out, dating, in a relationship, starting over or experiencing one of life's many unexpected twists). The GLSBLI is a service that provides the caller with the opportunity just to talk, express feelings and hopefully feel a little better by the time the call is finished.

The Switchboard also provides callers with information and referrals to the professional and business community as well as social groups, organizations, and upcoming community events. We strive to maintain the most up-to-date listing of bars, clubs, social organizations and various other gay friendly references ranging from attorneys to therapists to retailers and restaurants.

Notable distinctions include: voted Outstanding Overall Service Organization by the GLBT community in 1996. Recognized for our efforts every year by the Long Island Ravens, as well as chosen as Grand Marshall group to the Long Island Pride Parade in 1998. Our infomational and peer counseling services have assisted over 25,000 callers since 1991.
