The Chamber was founded in 1992 by a group of gay and lesbian business owners to serve as a networking and support organization for gay-owned and gay-friendly businesses within the greater Long Beach area. Since then we have grown to include businesses from surrounding areas as well.
Goals for the organization include the marketing and promotion of member businesses to the community as well as helping new businesses establish themselves in the area.
In partnership with other gay and lesbian nonprofit organizations in Long Beach, LBCBN contributes to the energy and quality of life within the city and surrounding communities.
