LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY

The LGBTQ+ community includes many different individual and group identities. Understanding that the experiences faced by the youth who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community are not a monolithic experience but a shared one. 

​

The LGBTQ+ Community encompasses those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questions/curious, and other non-cis hetero romantic connections. 

​

Being part of a community that faces criticisms, misconceptions, and negative assumptions from society, local communities, and even family can create an overwhelming or unsafe space for those within the community. 

​​

Everyone deserves access to resources and support that allows them to be understood, helped, and made to feel that they are not alone. ​​

SIMPLE WAYS TO SUPPORT YOUTH IN THIS COMMUNITY:

Stand up to bullies and targeted attacks- even when someone who is LGBTQ+ isn't in the room!

Respect the pronouns of an individual as they share that with you. As well as honor their name and refrain from using their "dead name." 

Respect the pronouns of an individual as they share that with you.
