The SETAC GLBT Community Center, located at the corner of Constitucion #427 and Manuel Dieguez, has for the past three years offered a variety of services meant to improve the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of the Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual, and Transgender (GLBT) community as well as their families and friends. A network of GLBT and non-GLBT communities creates opportunities for members of both to experience, learn, and participate in our common goals and services which benefit hundreds in the Puerto Vallarta communities.
