Resources for LGBTQ Youth

I know (and appreciate) that this site is intended for adults only. However, many of us have kids in our lives who may seek us out for support if they are LGBTQ or questioning.

This is a thread for posting resources for those moments when a kid may seek guidance. Because bullying and suicide risk are especially high for LGBTQ youth, I think it's helpful to have a place to start.

I saw this today:

I think it's an important message junior high and high school kids who are isolated and bullied - it really does get better.

There are many people who have made videos for Dan Savage's "it gets better" project - and I think they are definitely worth watching.
