LGBTQ+ Resources (EN).png

Everyone deserves a safe and loving world to live and grow in, regardless of their sexual orientation, who they love, or their gender identity and expression. At ImportaMí, we want you to feel welcome, supported and free to be your true self

In this article, we share a list of national LGBTQ+ resources. These organizations provide support for LGBTQ+ youth and their families. To make it easier to find the specific services that you’re looking for, we’ve included several different categories of organizations: 

  1. 📞 Hotlines
  2. 📍 LGBTQ+ service maps and directories
  3. 💻 Virtual communities
  4. 🏨 Other resources 

A few important notes: 

  • We do our best to include only updated and active resources, however the availability and capacity of these organizations may change quickly. 
  • Although the resources included in this article are national resources, there may also be incredible organizations in your community! Reach out to us for help connecting to local LGBTQ+ resources.
  • For general information and support for LGBTQ+ youth, check out our Guide for LGBTQ+ Youth and Allies

If you or someone you know needs help immediately or is in a crisis, please see our hotline page here
