Sen. Bob Casey is pushing for federal funds for a pro-LGBTQIA+ center in Pennsylvania that hosted youth drag shows and promoted events held in part by the Young Communist League of Philadelphia.
The nonprofit, according to its website, has embarked "on a daring and visionary project to transform and rebuild our existing community center into a more expansive, inclusive, colorful, and unabashedly queer space for all LGBTQIA+ individuals to gather, celebrate, learn, and find life-giving support."

Earlier this month, according to Pennsylvania Gay News – a local outlet covering LGBTQ issues in the city – William Way was allocated $2 million in Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney’s city FY 2024 operating budget. Those funds, the outlet noted, will "go toward expanding and improving spaces for the center’s 1315 Spruce Street headquarters."
