Robison, PhD also said she almost considered the group's visit "a badge of honor", and nearly felt proud that the group realized that the Montrose Center existed and was working for the LGBTQ community. The Montrose Center urged people not to counter-protest the group, but to instead ignore them.

Around the same time, the windows of the Montrose Center were painted in rainbow colors to represent that it served the LGBTQ community. In 2013, the Center changed their name from the Montrose Counseling Center to the Montrose Center, because they felt that they offered many more services than just counseling, and did not want people to feel as though they could only come to the center for mental health problems. In the 1990s the Center became one of the first places in Houston to offer temporary housing to gay men and transgender people. It was the first behavioral health center to receive funding under the Ryan White CARE Act. The Center still struggled financially until 1990, when the Ryan White CARE Act was passed, and the Center received funding through the act, allowing it to expand its services. Then, in 1983, the Montrose Activity Center, another LGBTQ-oriented community center, gave the Center $15,000 to keep operating. The Center faced many financial burdens in its formative years, particularly because of the high cost of providing health insurance for its employees living with HIV/AIDS. It began by offering primarily behavioral counseling and therapy for LGBTQ people. The Montrose Center opened in 1978 as Montrose Counseling Center (MCC), after the widely successful Town Hall Meeting I at the Astrodome.
