The William Way LGBT Community Center was incorporated as the Gay Community Center of Philadelphia in 1975. The original Community Center opened in 1976, offering a library, classes, support groups, and a coffeehouse.

In October 2021, after many years of planning, initial renovations on the front third of 1315 Spruce Street commenced, and a dedicated group of staff and volunteers are well on their way to building a gleaming new building that will contain expanded programs for our communities for decades to come.

We welcome community members to join us in the virtual WayGay Talk Space for gay, bi, queer, and trans men who love men. This space is an opportunity for community members to connect with each other and have meaningful conversations regarding topics of love, relationships, intimacy, and connection for men.
