Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender/Queer Focused

"The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) National Help Center, founded in 1996, is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization that provides vital peer-support, community connections and resource information to people with questions regarding sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Utilizing a diverse group of LGBT volunteers, we operate three national hotlines, the LGBT National Hotline, the LGBT National Youth Talkline, and the LGBT National Senior Hotline as well as private, volunteer one-to-one online chat, that helps both youth and adults with coming-out issues, safer-sex information, school bullying, family concerns, relationship problems and a lot more.

We run weekly moderated chat rooms for LGBT youth and teens to find support, acceptance and community.
​
We also maintain the largest collection of resources for the LGBT community in the United States, with over 17,000 local resources for cities and towns across the country."
