&nbsp;To date, the 
level of homophobia in Russia is very high. LGBT community lives in fear and 
depression, it is divided and fragmented. Such small cities as Kursk have no 
opportunity to open gay clubs both for security reasons and the policy of the 
state. 
 
The presence of a community center for people from the sexual and gender 
minority will allow them to have a safe island, a receiving place, where they 
can be provided with all kinds of support (psychological, legal, communicative) 
and assistance. 
 The collected funds will be spent 
on: 
 
- rental payments for the center's premises; 
 
- basic repair of premises; 
 
- furniture and household accessories; 
 
- projector, laptop, flipchart, screen for projector, cooler; 
 
- stationery for psychological training (e.g. art therapy) and operating 
activities; 
 
- components of the security system: 
 
a) video surveillance system, 
 
b) entrance with double access, 
 
c) electronic pass entry system, 
 
d) components of individual self-defense and protection. 
 The community center opening is 
planned in the first half of 2020. Therefore, funds for the project 
implementation are required now and before the end of 2019. 
 For me and for Vector, your support 
will mean the agreement and understanding that such LGBT centers are necessary. 
Your donation will express your solidarity with us. This will show your empathy 
towards LGBT people, understanding and sharing their problems. 
 We express our gratitude and love 
from all Kursk LGBT community for any donation you will make. As a sign of 
gratitude and appreciation, we will be glad to see you in the community center 
opened in Kursk (Russia). Also, if your donation is more than $50, then you 
will receive a letter from Non-Profit Public Association Vector with gratitude 
and love from Kursk nevertheless in which country you live! &nbsp;
