About Coastal Bend Pride Center
Serving the Corpus Christi area and surrounding Coastal Bend counties, the Coastal Bend Pride Center stands as a pioneering LGBTQIA+ community institution dedicated to empowerment, connection, and social justice. As the first and only community center of its kind south of San Antonio, the Pride Center fills a critical gap by providing a safe, affirming space where LGBTQIA+ individuals and their allies can build meaningful relationships and strengthen community bonds. The Center's mission centers on empowering members to achieve health and wellness goals while fostering personal growth and collective advocacy against discrimination and inequality. Recognizing that identity is complex and multifaceted, the organization actively supports intersectional approaches to social justice, ensuring that all community members feel valued and represented. The Pride Center creates opportunity through its welcoming environment where people can connect with one another, access essential resources, advocate for themselves and broader social change, and participate in community-building activities. With a dedicated staff committed to LGBTQIA+ care and community well-being, the Center cultivates programs that celebrate the vibrant local population while strengthening regional bonds across 12 counties. The organization's life-affirming approach emphasizes that every segment of the LGBTQIA+ community deserves access to resources needed to thrive. By providing comprehensive support—from health services to social connection to advocacy platforms—the Coastal Bend Pride Center has become an essential home for the region's LGBTQIA+ population and their allies.
