SAN DIEGO -- SDG&E has donated $7,500 to support of youth leadership development at Hillcrest Youth Center, The San Diego LGBT Community Center said today.

"We are tremendously fortunate to have SDG&E’s support for The Center’s Hillcrest Youth Center," said Christopher Mills, director of major gifts. "Hillcrest Youth Center fills a critical need for LGBTQ youth throughout San Diego County thanks to amazing corporate sponsors like SDG&E. Generous grants like this one help make our work possible, and we are greatly appreciative of their support."

Anthony Gioffre has a lot to say - he just wants to find the right venue to say it in! The 53-year-old video producer loves using his business, Golden Lodestar productions, to tell the stories of the LGBT community.

Hailing from New York, New York, Anthony has brought a bit of East Coast flair to San Diego for the last twelve years ... and regularly enjoys eating at Hillcrest's City Deli. He is happily married to his partner, Gary Rader.

Courtney Ware signed up to volunteer for San Diego Pride last summer, and fell in love with the community. Initially, her goal was to meet new people, but the 27-year old became so passionate about the fight for equality that she now finds herself involved with half a dozen community organizations.

Originally from Santa Clarita, California, Ware has been married to her husband Gary for nearly four years, although the couple has been together for 10 years.

SAN DIEGO -- At their meetings last night, the Hillcrest Town Council (HTC) and Hillcrest Business Association (HBA) each gave their endorsements to the Committee to Commemorate Harvey Milk's proposal to rename a street in Hillcrest as Harvey Milk Street.
