In the fall of 1975, Jerry Geresh led the formation of a group called Unity. Unity was comprised of 39 community groups dedicated to the purpose of creating a gay and lesbian community center in Denver. Over a weekend in September 1976, 22 members of Unity met to brainstorm a range of issues and hammered out the purposes and by-laws of a center. Two months later the Gay Community Center of Colorado (GCCC) was incorporated. After two years of passionate dedication, tens of thousands of dollars raised, and thousands of volunteer hours, The Center opened in August 1977.
