THE PERSAD CENTER in PGH is POORLY MANAGED!
The current Executive Director of the Persad Center, Betty H., is doing an absolutely terrible job of creating a welcoming atmosphere of non-judgement, acceptance, and consideration at the Persad Center.
I have witnessed a meeting at the Center where a leader of a group gathering has taken steps to publicly embarrass a visitor to the Center, and has gone on to negatively question a person's sexuality. Unfortunately at this time there does not appear to be any Code of Conduct Training, for what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior, for these Community Representatives at the Persad Center who are seemingly thrown out there with very little if any experience.
THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT AT THESE FACILITIES THERE IS A LACK OF ATTENTION PAID TO ACCEPTABLE AND UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR THROUGH A CODE OF CONDUCT TRAINING! WE MUST DEMAND BETTER! THE PUBLIC IS TAKING A RISK WHEN THEY THEMSELVES, THEIR LOVED ONES AND FAMILY, INCLUDING THEIR CHILDREN, ARE ENTERING FACILITIES LIKE THE PERSAD CENTER!
There must be focus paid to making sure that No One - Under Any Circumstances - in the LGBTQ Community is publicly embarrassed, berated, degraded, harassed, not treated with dignity and respect.
