City Unveils New LGBT Web Page

Members of the West Palm Beach Lesbian, Gay Bisexual and Transgender community now have a place they can go to learn who can help them in the city.

For the first time, the city has created a LGBT page on its website. On it the public will find information on the city's history of supporting the LGBT community, as well as contact information for the two liaisons to the LGBT community at the city.

The information can be found at: wpb.org/LGBT

"West Palm Beach has led the way in promoting and supporting the rights of the LGBT community," said Rand Hoch, President and Founder of the Palm Beach Human Rights Council. "Having a specific name and way to contact someone to assist with LGBT-related issues in the city is so important, and just another example of the city's continued commitment to our community."

The city has two LGBT liaisons. One is located at city hall and the other is with the police department.

The city hall liaison is Robert Telford. He can be reached at 561-822-1866 or at rtelford@wpb.org

The police department liaison is Lt. Greg Babcock. He can be reached at 561-822-1860 or at gbabcock@wpb.org.
