The Lowdown: Comfy community center for queer Brooklyn women and their friends.
Shades of Lavender resembles a big living room for the members of the lesbian and bisexual community in Brooklyn. An alternative to the bar scene, Shades runs groups for writers, Jewish women and women of color, poetry nights and movie nights as well as HIV prevention, safe sex workshops and individual counseling. They are also a safe haven for queer youth just coming out into the community - a noble and neccessary service. Shades is a project of the Brooklyn AIDS Task Force.
