La Station, Strasbourg LGBTQIA+ Centre
La Station is Strasbourg's LGBTQIA+ centre, a community space for welcome, listening and information opened in 2011 at 7 rue des Écrivains, in the historic centre. It is open to LGBTQIA+ people and to anyone wishing to learn more, and also offers a community café, a library and exhibitions.
Welcoming, listening, guiding
At La Station, a staff member supported by volunteers answers questions and points visitors in the right direction. One-to-one support is available by appointment, by email or by phone. Legal advice is offered on the first Saturday of each month from 2 pm to 4 pm, and by appointment. The association also runs awareness-raising activities about LGBTQIA+ lives for the general public.
A place for culture and meeting
The centre has a library whose books members can borrow, and it exhibits the work of LGBTQIA+ artists. It publishes Paroles Queer, a magazine about LGBTQIA+ experiences, reflections and cultures. A day space lets people come to work, relax or meet others, and the community café La Pensée Queer offers a friendly setting.
A Strasbourg association
The LGBTI Centre of Strasbourg and Alsace officially became an association on 22 September 2009. In October 2011 it opened La Station, a living and meeting space for the whole region, on rue des Écrivains. The 'I' for intersex was added to the name to make intersex people more visible. You can support the association by becoming a member; details are on its website.
