Officially opened for business back in August, the Equality Community Center in Portland, Maine, rolled out the red carpet for the city’s First Friday Artwalk. Festivities featured a performance by the Maine Gay Men’s Chorus, a video art installation, a tour, plenty of treats to eat, and an “equality photo booth.” The new 3,000-square-foot facility houses six LGBT organizations: including EqualityMaine, Pride Portland!, SAGE Maine, PFLAG, MaineTransNet and the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network of Southern Maine.
