Metropolitan Community Church - Encore Theater - LGBT Los Angeles (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
Metropolitan Community Church was founded in October 1968 by Troy Perry. Perry believed that gays too needed religion. Many flocked to the services so he was constantly scrambling for new venues as the congregation would grow each week. Early services were held at the 385 seat Encore Theater on Melrose Avenue. Perry performed some of the first public gay wedding ceremonies beginning with the wedding of two Latino men in 1969.
