Thank you to everyone who showed up for Transgender Day of Visibility!

It was a great day to recognize, celebrate, and honor transgender and nonbinary people, not just for who they are, but for everything they contribute to our communities every day.

To everyone who showed up, shared their story, supported others, and helped make visibility possible, thank you.

Visibility matters.
Because it affirms identity.
Because it builds understanding.
Because it reminds people they are not alone.
And because it saves lives.

For nearly two decades, Gregg Fordham has been part of the LGBT Life Center; as a client, a volunteer, and a member of our team.

But titles don’t really capture who Gregg is.

He’s someone who leads with kindness. Who listens. Who shows up. Who believes deeply in the power of community and care.

Gregg has been a tireless advocate for people living with HIV and a steady, compassionate presence for so many. He has given so much to this Center, and to this community.

We’re going to miss him but we’re also so grateful for everything he’s given.

Wishing you the very best in your next chapter, Gregg.

Dining Out For Life Hampton Roads will be moving to a new date this year!

After conversations with restaurant partners and members of the local hospitality community, organizers have decided to move the event to the fall and shift it from a Thursday to a Tuesday evening.

Restaurant owners shared that a Tuesday night, traditionally one of the slower nights for dining, would allow more restaurants to participate while bringing new diners through their doors.

Dining Out For Life has been a Hampton Roads tradition for 23 years, raising more than $1.6 million for LGBTQ+ health and HIV services through the support of local restaurants and diners.
Our goal has always been to maximize the impact of this community tradition, and we believe this change will help Dining Out For Life continue to grow and support the services our community depends on.

We look forward to supporting our restaurant community and raising funding for LGBTQ+ and HIV care in Hampton Roads on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.

We were founded by women in 1989 to support women and children living with HIV.
While our mission has grown, that leadership still defines us today.

Women have always been at the center of LIFE: leading teams, building programs, and showing up for our community every day.

We believe in leadership rooted in merit, impact, and care. And yes—women make incredible leaders.

Some people leave and come back even more aligned with their purpose. We call them the "boomerang gang." Welcome back, Andrew!

Andrew’s journey has taken them from LGBT Life Center to ODU to Florida, always with one goal: serving the q***r community.

Now they’re back, stepping into a new leadership role and continuing that work where it matters most.

Welcome back, Andrew 💛
