Community leaders are beginning to regroup in Houston, where many NO gays have relocated after Katrina.

The LGBT Center of Houston has announced that they have established a fund to support the Lesbian and Gay Community Center of New Orleans.

“As of today, we haven’t yet been able to reach anyone with the Lesbian and Gay Community Center of New Orleans, but those of us in Houston certainly expect that our New Orleans friends will be able to make use of some extra financial support,” Houston center board member Tim Brookover said.

“We know how important a center can be for a community.”

The Montrose Counseling Center is holding counseling sessions for hurricane victims.

“There’s anger, there are tears, and there is a lot of fear, Center spokesperson Sally Huffer told 365Gay.com

But Huffer also said that many hurricane victims don’t yet realize that LGBT help is available. Others are still in shock, unable to come to the full realization of what has happened. Huffer said as the days go on she expects far more people to show up for help.
